1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Why everyone's rushing to download something called Blue Sky, and

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: why you might want to join them. If your password

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: is one two, three, four five six. The good news

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: is you're not alone. The bad news is that's bad news.

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Amazon's new secret store where everything is under twenty bucks.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on? I'm Rich

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: answer your questions about technology. I believe that tech should

00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: be interesting, useful, and fun. Let's fire up those phone

Speaker 2: Guests.

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: This week we've got former USA Today Tech columnist and

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: current AARP Tech editor at bag. He's going to talk

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: about tech support for your parents. And later we've got

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: turn it In's Annie Checatelli. She is going to discuss

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: the impact of AI on education. Well, it was fight

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Night in America once again, but this time with a twist.

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: This was one of the first major sporting events that

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: Netflix well try to stream. They've done some stuff in

27
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: the past. Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson, Did you watch it?

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: Probably many many people did. It was sort of a

29
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: technical disaster. Now, I'm not blaming Netflix here. I'm not

30
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: going to say that this is bad that they did this.

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: You've got to start somewhere, But it gives us perspective.

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: This is a huge company with lots of smart people,

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: and we are still just in the beginning stages of

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: fakeing this stuff out. Now, There's been lots of live

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: streams before, but I think that this goes to show

36
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: both the popularity of something like this and also the

37
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: fact that Netflix has some work to do. All kinds

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: of streaming problems with the show last night frustrated viewers

39
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: all over the world. Lots of people, including myself, reported

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: buffering and connectivity issues. Some people had to wait a

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: long time for the show to actually start, and then

42
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: some people got this black screen of death, which I

43
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: also got, and depended kind of on a lot of things.

44
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: Whether you know where you lived, how you were accessing it,

45
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: whether it was on mobile, whether it was on your TV.

46
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: But you know, Netflix really struggled to handle so many

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: people watching this event at the same time, Netflix has

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: over almost three hundred million subscribers, and every single one

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: of them had access to this at no extra cost.

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: So it's not like the days of pay per view,

51
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: where you're paying fifty bucks and you better have a

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: clear screen because you're paying for that. No, this was

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: available to everyone, which is incredible and amazing, but also

54
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: it goes to show that it takes a lot to

55
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: stream something on this level. So of course people were

56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: on social media, including myself, joking about all the things

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: that went wrong.

58
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't even clear half the time.

59
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: So at first when I first tuned in, I thought

60
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: it was incredible because it was looking very clear, and

61
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it started buffering, and then

62
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it started dropping out, and then

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it started not working, and then

64
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, when it came back, the video.

65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: Quality was not very good.

66
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: So even if you had a good connection like myself,

67
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: like a fiber connection, you still had issues. So do

68
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: we know how many people watch this? We don't know exactly.

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Netflix has not said just yet do we know how

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: much money it generated. One report said eighteen million dollars

71
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: at the stadium itself. Seems like a lot. I'm sure

72
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: these these guys that fought got paid a lot of money.

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure all the product placement and sponsorships generated a

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: lot of money.

75
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.

76
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: Netflix wants to get into live streaming in a big way.

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Somehow Amazon has been able to figure it out. But

78
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: you know they run that infrastructure AWS, so if anyone

79
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: could do live streaming and has the servers for it,

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: Amazon's got it figured out.

81
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: Now.

82
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people are watching those Prime

83
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: football games if it's the same as this level, but

84
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: they've got it figured out. But Netflix is set to

85
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: stream two NFL games on Christmas Day, and you can

86
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: bet a lot of people are going to be watching

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: those because everyone's going to be at home and everyone

88
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: wants to watch those games. So we will have to

89
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: see if Netflix can get their act together in the

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: next what is it, six weeks or so to resolve

91
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: those technical issues.

92
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it.

93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: Was still interesting to see the entire US and maybe

94
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: the world at large come together to watch something in

95
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: a world of fractured and fragmented streaming programs, and everyone's

96
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: on a different wavelength, and everyone's on a different level,

97
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: and everyone's watching a different show. It's kind of cool

98
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: to still have things that bring us all together. And

99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: last night was one of those times when pretty much

100
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: everyone you knew was watching that. All right, moving on now,

101
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: also this week, if you heard there is a new

102
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: social network that is suddenly popular.

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 2: It is called blue Sky.

104
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: Doesn't that just sound nice? So blue Sky gained more

105
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: than two million users in the past few weeks many

106
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: people after the election, Over fifteen million people are now

107
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: on blue Sky. Now, keep in mind that sounds like

108
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: a big number, but X and Threads have hundreds of

109
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: millions of people. So why are people coming over to

110
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: blue Sky. Well, many are unhappy with Elon Musk his

111
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: support of the new president, and they also say that

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: they're mad that X is going to train its ai

113
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: on their posts. But come on, if you're on Instagram,

114
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: if you're on Facebook, if you're on pretty much any

115
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: system that you're not paying for, you are the product

116
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: and they're going to train on your stuff. So that's

117
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: like kind of a weak excuse to leave. But at

118
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: the same time, people are doing it and I'm seeing

119
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: a lot of momentum on this blue sky.

120
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: So what is it?

121
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: Well, it looks a lot like Twitter in the old days,

122
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean, almost identical to Twitter. And well that's probably

123
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: for a reason because it was started in twenty nineteen

124
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: by one of the founders of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, but

125
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: he left and it was invite only for a long time.

126
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: So that's the reason you didn't really hear about it

127
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: very much. People that were nerdy, people that were in

128
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: the know. Of course, they knew about this. They've been

129
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, I've been on this for a year now,

130
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: and you're gonna say, okay, thanks, do you want to meddle?

131
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: But many people are discovering it, So what can you

132
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: do on it? It's the same as Twitter. You can

133
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: follow people, they can follow you back. You can post text,

134
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: you can post photos, you can post videos, you can repost,

135
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: you can like. But here is the thing. It is

136
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: much more open source and decentralized as opposed to something

137
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: like Twitter that is run by one person. Well, many

138
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: people work there, but you know, Elon Musk is at

139
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: the Helm, so this is much more open source and decentralized.

140
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: What does that mean.

141
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: It means that one organization doesn't really own or control

142
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: your data. So if you ever want to leave blue Sky,

143
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: you can, and it's simple, and you can take all

144
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: of your data with you somewhere else. So if something

145
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: else comes up better, all your stuff will just move

146
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: over to that platform. And so that's really interesting, it's

147
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: really unique, and I think this is going to the

148
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: idea of Web three Web three point zero, where it's

149
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: like more of these things are much more decentralized and

150
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: they all sort of work together and you can take

151
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: your information and your services wherever you want to go

152
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: with them. Now, I will tell you, having used blue

153
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: Sky for the past couple of days now, it's nice

154
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are popping up on there.

155
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: I see a few problems. Number one, it's tough to

156
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: find people on there because you have to pretty much

157
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: search for them by name. There's no way to import

158
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: your address book, which would be really handy, so you

159
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: can't do that. I mean, there are some tools. Someone

160
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: told me about a tool where you can take your

161
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Twitter followers and it will scan them, but you have

162
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: to do that in Chrome, and it seemed a little wonky,

163
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: and I think you have to give access to one

164
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: of your accounts to do that, which I never really

165
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: liked doing. But I guess people are making these lists

166
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: of like various people in groups, like all the journalists

167
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: on the Tech Journalists. Here's a list and you can

168
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: follow all of them at the same time. So that's

169
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: kind of a cool feature too, But otherwise I'm kind

170
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: of loving it. I've already got almost a thousand followers

171
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: on there, so it's like being back in the old days.

172
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: It's like you're starting something new, You're in something fresh.

173
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: I have not gone off x just yet. I'm still there.

174
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: But now I'm just posting to all these places on

175
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: a daily basis. Facebook, X, Blue Sky, what else, Instagram,

176
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: So there's a lot and people are gonna get kind

177
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: of tired of posting to all these different places, but

178
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: right now it does feel kind of fun. I mean,

179
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: I joined I remember the day I joined Facebook pretty

180
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: much the first day I could. I remember the first

181
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: day I joined Twitter back in the day when I could.

182
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: And it's fun. It's fun to be on kind of

183
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: the round level of these services because there's things that

184
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: you find that are great, and there's just a lot

185
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: of growing problems too. So if you want to find me,

186
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: I am on there at rich On Tech and kind

187
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: of fun on Blue Sky, and we'll see what happens

188
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: with it, all right. The other big story this week,

189
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: Bitcoin once again has surged to a record hive over

190
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: ninety thousand dollars a coin.

191
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: Why.

192
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of it is because of the President elect,

193
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: who has a pro crypto stance, and many people are

194
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: optimistic about this digital currency, which means they're putting more

195
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: money into it. Also, institutional investors are putting money into it.

196
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: Things like retirement accounts and ETFs were approved by regulators

197
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: and they've seen a lot of cash flowing in. Bitcoin

198
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: has now become the world's eighth largest asset, surpassing silver.

199
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: That's pretty wild, but remember cryptocurrency remains highly volatile. You

200
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: have to know what you're doing if you're getting in

201
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: on this. I've kind of all kinds of people texting

202
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: me saying, rich should I get it. I can't give

203
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: you the advice on that. If you've got money to lose,

204
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: sure go ahead, but this is not something that you

205
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: can say, I'm gonna put this money in here, it's

206
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna be there forever. We don't know that to be true.

207
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: So remember this is an investment like anything else. It

208
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: could go up, you could lose it all, but you know,

209
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: it is kind of fun to watch what's going on

210
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: with it. This is not financial advice, but if you're

211
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: looking for a place to get it, coinbase is popular,

212
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: PayPal has a way to buy crypto, Venmo has a way,

213
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: and cash app those are all very easy ways to

214
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: buy it. Of course, do your research before you invest

215
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: in anything. And that doesn't go for just crypto. That's

216
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: any time you put your money in something where.

217
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: It could go away.

218
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,040

240
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: with Rich.

241
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: Hi.

242
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 5: Rich, thank you for taking my call this morning. I'm

243
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 5: calling because I have a friend who mentioned to me

244
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 5: that he has bitcoin lost somewhere on one of his

245
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 5: old phones in an old account, and he got in

246
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 5: the early two thousands, like he said, he bought it

247
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 5: through PayPal and I and I got to thinking, maybe

248
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 5: you know of a company that helps you gain access

249
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 5: to your old account and get access to your old

250
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 5: bitcoin with maybe they charge a fee or something. Given

251
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 5: you information regarding.

252
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: That, Oh good question.

253
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: Probably a lot of people trying to figure out what

254
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: the status is of the bitcoin. Did I buy some

255
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: back in the day, because I know so quick story Marcelo.

256
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: I did a story with bitcoin back in Oh my gosh,

257
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: I think it was bitcoin ATM.

258
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: Let's see when I did.

259
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: This, probably in twenty oh gosh, twenty seventeen, I don't know,

260
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: it was a long time ago. But I purchased twenty

261
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: dollars worth of bitcoin and I did the math and

262
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: it would be several thousand. I mean now with the

263
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: ninety thousand point, it would be you know, it'd be

264
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: like probably five six thousand bucks at this point.

265
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. Don't don't quote me on the math.

266
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: My point is I went back to that story and

267
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: I tried to freeze frame the little QR code they

268
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: gave me, because I just threw out the sheet as

269
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: soon as I was done with the story. I was like,

270
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: this isn't going anywhere, and I tried to go back

271
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: to that story and freeze frame the video where I

272
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: pulled a little receipt out of the Bitcoin ATM where

273
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 1: it has my QR code with my access to it.

274
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: I was like, can I scan this and recover this bitcoin?

275
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't, but I agree there's gonna be a lot

276
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: of people that are wondering how to access this. So

277
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: it is tough. And here's my advice moving forward. If

278
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: you are signing up for anything where you're buying bitcoin,

279
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: especially if you are signing up with one of these wallets,

280
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: they give you what's called a recovery phrase, so you

281
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: need to remember that. And I specifically remember many years

282
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: ago signing up for a bitcoin service and I got

283
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: the recovery phrase, and I have no idea where it is,

284
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: and I can't remember if I actually bought bitcoin on

285
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: that account either, but my kid and I were trying

286
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: to go through and we were like signing into coinbase

287
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: and signing into all these apps to see. With that said,

288
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: it is very, very tough to recover this stuff. Because

289
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: if you're buying it through a big company, then it

290
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: might be easier, but if you're buying it through one

291
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: of these wallets and you lose it, you're not really

292
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: going to get it back. So there are a couple

293
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: of resources online. I cannot vouch for them, but I

294
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: can tell you what has been featured before in various publications,

295
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: and one of those is Cryptoasset Recovery dot com, so

296
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: that's one of them. I don't know how much they

297
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: cost to do this, let's see pricing. Oh wow, so

298
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: password recovery, if they figure it out, they will take

299
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: twenty percent of your wallet. So if you had one

300
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in there, they take two hundred dollars, which

301
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: probably a small price to pay. But this is a

302
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: story out of Motherboard. They are talking about back when

303
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Motherboard's still around, but they were talking

304
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: about how these This is a father son team in

305
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, and I guess they're just trying. They know

306
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: people need this. So and then there's another one I

307
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: found called keychain x dot io and this says Wallet

308
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: Recovery Services trusted since twenty seventeen. And they've got a

309
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: whole bunch of information on there as well.

310
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: So let's see.

311
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: Keychain x can decrypt most types of cryptocurrency, wallets, Ethereum. Okay,

312
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: so they've got basically they they may help you do that,

313
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: but again you're gonna pay to get this done. So

314
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: how how much does your friend have does he say.

315
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 5: He said he bought it like in two thousand and six,

316
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 5: or anybody put in one thousand dollars?

317
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

318
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he thinks he's got a lot there.

319
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, two thousand.

320
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll talk on the information and I appreciate it, all.

321
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: Right, pass on the info that's said. Oh my gosh, okay,

322
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: so bitcoin, let's see they bought it. Let's see they

323
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: bought it for one thousand dollars, and let's see calculate,

324
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: so that'd be worth.

325
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, let's see.

326
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so that'd be worth ninety one thousand dollars at

327
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: this point. That's just that's just a quick calculator. I

328
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: don't know if that's correct or not, but that's pretty wild.

329
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's not taken into concern. Oh okay, hold on,

330
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: I got to look up the buy price from two thousand. Okay,

331
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: hold on, bitcoin price so in two thousand it was

332
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: let's see, we got to go back. Oh, I guess

333
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: I can't even look up. I can't even look up

334
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: the price in two thousand. Bitcoin price two thousand was like,

335
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's a long time. Okay, Yeah, that's

336
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: it's worth more than ninety thousand dollars.

337
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: That's that's worth a lot of money.

338
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, okay, yeah, I would pay to have

339
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: someone figure that out.

340
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: All right, good question.

341
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: Marcelo Please, No matter what you're signing up for, whether

342
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: it is bitcoin, whether it is crypto, whether it is

343
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: an account that you open up at Facebook or anything,

344
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: please remember your account password. I don't know what it

345
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: is about people that just they refuse to use a

346
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: password manager. Get a password manager. Bitwarden is completely free.

347
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: All you have to do. It's like a little notebook.

348
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: Just write down your username and password as you sign up. Yes,

349
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: it takes you an extra three minutes to sign up

350
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: for a website because you have to do a little

351
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: legwork to generate the password and save it. But I

352
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: do it every day, and I'm telling you it has

353
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: saved me so many times. I just set up a

354
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: new computer. I said, oh, I'll never forget the password

355
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: to this computer. I forgot it as soon as I

356
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: set it up, and of course it was in my wallet.

357
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: Please use a password manager. Eight A eight rich one

358
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: oh one. This is rich on Tech. Welcome back to

359
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: rich On Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you

360
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: talking technology this week. If you like Google, you might

361
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: like their new app for the iPhone. They released their

362
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: AI app, a standalone Gemini AI app for the iPhone.

363
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: So this is something you could access in the past,

364
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: but you had to go through the Google app. Now

365
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: Gemini AI is standalone, so that means you can go

366
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: to the app store search for Gemini AI. Just be

367
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: careful because there's a lot of impersonators whenever you search

368
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: for these main AI brands, so make sure you're getting

369
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: that the one that is actually from Google. I'll put

370
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: a link on the website. Rich on tech dot TV

371
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: go to the show notes. But what can you do

372
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: with Gemini AI. Well, this is this is Google's version

373
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: of Chat GPT, so you can text it, you can

374
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: ask it questions. There's a camera mode. It also has

375
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: Gemini Live. This is their conversational mode, so you can

376
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: talk to AI in a natural language. And I was

377
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: hanging out with Google this week in New York City

378
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: and they talked about how they have not only can

379
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: these things speak forty different languages, which is just absolutely wild,

380
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: but the names of these these Gemini Live characters, I

381
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: guess you can call them whatever you want to, however

382
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: you want to describe them. They all are inspired by

383
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: heavenly bodies, so they didn't want to name them traditional

384
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: names because they thought it'd be weird. If you know,

385
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 1: like remember we have Siri and we have the alex

386
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: A one. But you know, Google Assistant never really had

387
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: a name, but Jem and I. They wanted to come

388
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: up with these interesting kind of names that were much

389
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: more kind of mysterious, because you don't want to say, oh,

390
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Bob. You know you're just talking to

391
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: Let's see, where's the voices. So here's the voices.

392
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 6: I'm ready to be your voice. If you like what

393
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 6: you hear, choose me to start talking.

394
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: So that's URSA.

395
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 4: Feel free to keep exploring until you find the perfect voice.

396
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: That's Vega.

397
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 6: You can always change voices later.

398
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 7: I'll be here whenever you're ready to talk.

399
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: And this is Nova described as calm mid range. Here's

400
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: Pegasus s.

401
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: It's about the other voices. Swipe to explore or pick

402
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: me to start engaged in deeper voice Eclipse.

403
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 6: Is it good to meet you?

404
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 8: Give me a chance or check out the other options Energetic.

405
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm your style, Pick me and I can be

406
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: the voice you hear.

407
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: Why why does he sound a little down? He doesn't

408
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: sound like I don't know if you let's go back.

409
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: This is dipper hold it.

410
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm your style, Pick me and I can be

411
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: the voice you hear.

412
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: I feel like he might read like one of those

413
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: like romance novels late at night.

414
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. It sounds like the guy at the

415
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: bar that just brought you a drink. Yeah, I don't

416
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: know that's that one anyway.

417
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: So so all, so this is actually if you haven't

418
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: tried this, now is your time.

419
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 2: Now.

420
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: Gemini Live used to be a feature they had to

421
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: pay for. I'm not sure if they open that up

422
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: for free now, but that is the So there's various

423
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: options once you download this app, but that live thing

424
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: is something you should really try.

425
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: It's in the lower right hand corner. It looks like

426
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: kind of a voice.

427
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: But the neat thing about this is that you can

428
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: now just access Gemini AI a lot faster on the iPhone. Now,

429
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: there are some hang ups because it is the iPhone.

430
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: The way it's constructed, it can't access other apps on

431
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: the phone unless they're Google properties. So it can do

432
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: things like Google maps and link up with YouTube music,

433
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna be able to like do other

434
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: things on your phone like Siri would be able to do,

435
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: so just keep that in mind.

436
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: But it's kind of cool.

437
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: I would definitely recommend downloading it. And the thing about

438
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: that's neat about Gemini is that it's up to date

439
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: with all of Google's information, so that's kind of a

440
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: little leg up against some of these other AI chatbots

441
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: out there that may not be as fresh like Google AI.

442
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: Gemini really has all the information you need, so if

443
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: you're looking for like answers to questions about things that

444
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: just happened, you can get those answers a lot easier

445
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: on Gemini compared to some of the other things. Now

446
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: chat GBT just introduced web search results not as good

447
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: and also it's a premium feature, so Gemini has that

448
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: built in for free, even on the free level. So anyway,

449
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: Gemini for iOS, you can check it out. Let's go

450
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: to Mark in Los Angeles. Mark, you're on with.

451
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 9: Rich All Rich, I'm a Mac guy since nineteen eighty four.

452
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 9: I'm about to buy either an iMac or a Mac

453
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 9: Many and one of my considerations is that if I

454
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 9: buy a Macmini, I will have to get an external monitor.

455
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 9: The Apple monitor is awesome, but they love it as

456
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 9: much as I do, and it's kind of expensive, so

457
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 9: I'm looking to either. I would look to a four

458
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 9: K monitor, which would be less. So I'm curious as

459
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 9: to your thoughts on the visual experience of that monitor,

460
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 9: which admittedly would be awesome, and a four K monitor,

461
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 9: and what brands you trust if I were to go

462
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 9: to a four K monitor of a different of a

463
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 9: different kind. I haven't had to buy a monitor in

464
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 9: a very long time.

465
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 3: Well, all the.

466
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 9: Specs are kind of amazing now, you know, all over

467
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 9: the place.

468
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: Yes they are. So I will tell you as someone

469
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: who just got the Macmini. So Apple sent along the

470
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: Macmini to test out. And I've never had a Mac

471
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: Mini before, and they just sent the most basic one.

472
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 2: It was.

473
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: It's like the basic version of it. So it's got

474
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: the sixteen gigs a RAM, it's got the standard M

475
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: four chip. It's not the pro. And I'm telling you, Mark,

476
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm in love with this thing. I was on it

477
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: this morning, I was on it last night. My wife

478
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: is like, are you coming to bed? I'm like, I'm

479
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: still playing on this computer. The screen is huge. They

480
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: sent one of the studio displays, so it's the standard

481
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: studio display, which I get is sixteen hundred bucks.

482
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 2: But it's a twenty seven.

483
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 9: Inches seven inch That's what I have I have a

484
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 9: like a Circle twenty thirteen iMac and it's just they

485
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 9: just don't support it anymore. It won't it won't stop working,

486
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 9: you know, it never gets right, of course, but I

487
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 9: need to replace it. And if it didn't cost so much,

488
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 9: it wouldn't be a I wouldn't think about it.

489
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, there are many other monitors that are

490
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: a lot cheaper.

491
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: I think.

492
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: Obviously, Apple of course has a little bit of you know,

493
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: sinner between their monitor and their computers, but you don't

494
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: really need that. But I will tell you as far

495
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: as between the iMac and the Macmini, I would go

496
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: with the Macmini for sure, just because I love the

497
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: idea that this thing is so small. It's got ports

498
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: on the front, which I really like, so you can

499
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: plug in things, and it's just it's always there and

500
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: it's just simple and it's nice.

501
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: So when it comes to.

502
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: Buying the monitor, we actually had a guest on and

503
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: the guest was Matthew S. Smith, So look him up.

504
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: He's got actually i'll send I'll put the links in

505
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: the show notes, but he mentioned all of the monitors

506
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: that he recommends. I don't have it off the top

507
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: of my head, but he had a great and a

508
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: whole buyer's guide, so he explained like the difference between

509
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: the monitors, which ones he likes, and I've got it.

510
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: I'll put it all in the show notes, but it

511
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: was from what I remember, he had some pretty strong

512
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: opinions on things. He also maintains the PC mag Monitor

513
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: Buying Guide, so I would look there and let's let's

514
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: see PC mag.

515
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: Let's okay here, but that's where Matthew Smith Matthew S.

516
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: Smith, And if you look at if you look at

517
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: his information on there, he's got all the monitors that

518
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 1: he recommends on PC mag. That's I'm trying to look

519
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: it up. Of course I can't find it while I'm

520
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: talking to you. Monitor Buying guide on PC mag. Let

521
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: me see that real quick. Here we go best monitors

522
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. So I mean they recommend, yeah,

523
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: some of these standard brands that you would know, like

524
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: the Lenovo, Dell HP A SEUs. But he explains in

525
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: his interview what to look for, and I think that's

526
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: the main thing is there's so many specs that he

527
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: sort of like explained what he thinks are the things

528
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: that you should mainly look for in these.

529
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 9: Monitors so available on your website.

530
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll link it up on the show notes.

531
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: I can't find it right now while we're talking on

532
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: the air, but it was it was basically everything you

533
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: need to know. Like I love when these experts come

534
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: on they just say, look, this is what I like.

535
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: I've said all these things. This one's like five hundred

536
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: bucks and it's going to be fantastic. So but I

537
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: would say the main difference between the iMac and the

538
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: Macmini is, you know, the iMac is sort of like

539
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: stuck in time, like once you get it, that's it.

540
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean Mac Minnie kind of the same way, like

541
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: you're not going to really be upgrading a lot of

542
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: stuff on there. But I just like the idea that

543
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: you're bringing your own components. So again, you can get

544
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: that nice big display that you want, you can get

545
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: a keyboard that you like.

546
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you could do that with the iMac as well.

547
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: But I guess the only difference is, and this is

548
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: something that Matthew talked about, was whether you should get

549
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: a webcam built in or not, and he he said

550
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: he does not like the webcams built in, and the

551
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: reason is because you know they're usually higher quality when

552
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: they're not built in and they're also you know, it's

553
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: just much better.

554
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's his buying guide. Okay, I found it.

555
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so he so his best monitor overall is the

556
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: Dell Ultra Sharp PIXEO is the best budget monitor for

557
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty bucks. I don't think you want

558
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: that one. The best budget four K is a Dell

559
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: that's three hundred bucks. Best budget gaming monitor is also Dell.

560
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: So he really likes the Dell stuff. MSI best Gaming monitor, Alienware,

561
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: best gaming monitor a sus they make the best high

562
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: refresh rate monitor that's a thousand bucks, and best budget.

563
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 9: As when they say gaming monitor, what's different between a

564
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 9: gaming monitor and just a good computer like the like

565
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 9: the like the studio display. Is there something different from

566
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 9: a gaming monitor and Apple's expensive monitor.

567
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: I believe it's the refresh rate. I think that's mainly

568
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: what it is and how it handles that.

569
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 9: I'm not a gamer, yeah.

570
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: So you probably don't need to worry about that, but

571
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: that's I think that's the main thing. And he explains it.

572
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: Let's see, yeah, yeah, higher a refresh rate, but he

573
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: was also explaining how the refresh rates you know, for

574
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: standard computing, you don't really need something that high. So

575
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Let's see if you look at

576
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: the the Apple studio displays. See like Apple doesn't even

577
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: mention their refresh rates on their main page because most

578
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: people are not looking at that.

579
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: You know, you know it's going to look good.

580
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: This does okay. Interesting, So the studio monitor does have

581
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: a camera built in. I did not didn't even notice

582
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: that on one And the other thing that the Apple

583
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: monitors are doing now is they have the the iMac.

584
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: The only separate the only thing that's a little bit different.

585
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: It's got the downward facing camera. So it's called desk view.

586
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: So you can put like a piece of paper if

587
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: you're doing a zoom like in front of the monitor

588
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: and it will look down at that. So if you're

589
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: sharing like things on your desk, you can do that.

590
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: So that's one thing the iMac does that I'm not

591
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: sure that the studio display does. But that's something to

592
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: look for anyway. Great question, Yeah, I'll link it up

Speaker 3: I have a iPhone, twelve promats and two hundred and

609
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,120

610
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: he can't download the last seventeen or eighteen iOS so

611
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: enough says I don't have enough memory.

612
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 1: Oh you don't have enough memory? Okay, So well, so

613
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: you said how many gigs you have left on your phone?

614
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: Fourteen? Like fourteen and a half.

615
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: Oh okay, and so and iOS eighteen is saying that's

616
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: not enough.

617
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, when it when it? When the downloads is it's

618
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 3: point like four.

619
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: Well okay, but that's that's the download. But that doesn't

620
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: take into consideration what this thing needs to do on

621
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: your phone. So it doesn't just because the download is

622
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: that amount. It wants a certain amount of space on

623
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: your phone to make sure that nothing gets corrupted or

624
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: it needs it needs some space to work, is what

625
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. So, is there any way you

626
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: can free up like a couple of gigs on your phone?

627
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? I could it, just it would be nice if

628
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 3: they would tell you what they need, or you know,

629
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: built them in such a way that even if you

630
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: i mean, because you you know, you pay a lot

631
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 3: of money for these things in the storage, they should

632
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: make it so that it works and you still get

633
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: your usable storage, not always having to delete stuff.

634
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm looking at some things, some reports online

635
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: and it's saying that for iOS eighteen, it looks like

636
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: you need about twenty gigs of storage available. Now Apple

637
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: doesn't I don't think they published this, but that is

638
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: what people are reporting you need.

639
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, I've heard people with sixty four gigabytes. They're

640
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 3: really I mean, they're they're deleting them a ton of

641
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: stuff from they're telling and still can't do it.

642
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: Sixty four you mean like sixty four total?

643
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you know that is yeah, that's

644
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: unfortunate because here's the thing, like, for a long time,

645
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: and many in the tech world gave Apple a lot

646
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: of you know, a lot of trouble for this is

647
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: that for many, many years they were selling phones that

648
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: were understored, right, you had way less storage than people

649
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: needed for today's current applications, which you know, if you're

650
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: taking any sort of four K videos or you know,

651
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: even if you're downloading a lot of apps. I mean

652
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: apps today are like three hundred megabytes sometimes so and

653
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: that you know, just for like an average like Facebook

654
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: or something, So you do need much more storage than

655
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: you think on your phone. And also a lot of

656
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: people think that they can just buy their way to

657
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: more storage with iCloud, when you know you can in

658
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: a way, but it's also kind of linked to your phone,

659
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: so it's not that easy. But and I do wish

660
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: Apple would say on the on the actual you know,

661
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: when you're downloading this or trying to download it, like, hey,

662
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: you need one more gig of storage before we can

663
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: install this, instead.

664
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 3: Of just yeah, you need to pree it up this

665
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: and then we can download it or a different way

666
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: to do it on your computer or something else.

667
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way.

668
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: They should also say, like, here's three files you can

669
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: delete that we think you don't need. So do you

670
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: know how to free up space quickly on your phone

671
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: or have you have you come up with a plan

672
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: for that or no.

673
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: I haven't really, I mean I have. I have a

674
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: lot of photos and videos, and I have a Google

675
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: backup and Prime backup, so I could I could delete

676
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: a lot of.

677
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: Those, Okay, So the easiest way to do it is

678
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: if you go into oh see, I've I've got the

679
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: new iOS eighteen, but I think it's similar, but I

680
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: think under general I'm not sure if they still have it,

681
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: but it says iPhone storage.

682
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: This might be new.

683
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: I know they have an iPhone storage somewhere on your iOS.

684
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: It may not be under general, but there is if

685
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: you find maybe just search for iPhone storage and what

686
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: they do is they give you recommendations for what you

687
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: can do to free up some storage. So, for instance,

688
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my phone, Netflix is holding fifteen gigs

689
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: and that's just stuff I've downloaded on Netflix. I could

690
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: easily get rid of that. Those are like downloaded shows.

691
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: I can easily get rid of those. In the meantime

692
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: to download iOS eighteen and then re download those shows

693
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: Instagram eight gigs, podcasts, five gigs, voice memos four gigs.

694
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: So again, those are some low hanging fruit. Pretty easy

695
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: to get rid of those things without even deleting your

696
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: files or videos. But typically what I tell people to

697
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: do is as long as they're backed up somewhere else,

698
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: is you can delete some of the longest videos that

699
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: you have on your iPhone. And I think even Apple

700
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: makes that tricky to find those, but sometimes they put

701
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: them under the recommendations. But on Android it's pretty easy.

702
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: You just go into your files app and you just

703
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: sort by the largest files. But on on iPhone, you

704
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: can go into your videos and you can just look

705
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: at the times of the videos and find the ones.

706
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: Let's see, can you sort view options? No filter, Nope, can't.

707
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't let you sort by biggest videos unfortunately, but

708
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: that's you know, an easy way to do it is

709
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: just to look for a video that's over, you know,

710
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: like I'm looking at one that's uh, let's see here,

711
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: maybe like fifteen minutes long or something ten minutes.

712
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: It would be nice, it would be nice if they

713
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: gave you the same storage on iCloud that you buy

714
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 3: on your phone, so that if you have to do

715
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: a total reset or something, you not have to like

716
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 3: buy in it for a month or whatever just to

717
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 3: save it and put it back.

718
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there isn't.

719
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 3: That doesn't always work because I've had the genius part

720
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 3: lose a bunch of my stuff when they set it

721
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 3: downloaded to the cloud and it did.

722
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: Well, that's not good. But there is a feature that

723
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: Apple did introduce this year or last year with iCloud,

724
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: which is I'm trying to find the exact name of it,

725
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: but yes, here it is. It's temporary iCloud storage. I'll

726
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: link this up in the show notes. So this is

727
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: actually something they did that's pretty good. So if you

728
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: have if you're switching to a new iPhone and you

729
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: don't have enough iCloud storage to back up your current device,

730
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: they will automatically expand your iCloud storage to accommodate everything

731
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: on your phone so that you can move it over

732
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: to your new one, and then once it's moved over

733
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: to the new one, Apple will delete that information after

734
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: twenty one days. So that's actually kind of a nice

735
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: thing they did. Understanding that people don't always have as

736
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: much eCloud as they have storage on their phone. But

737
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: you also have to remember Kent that Apple makes a

738
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: lot of money on iCloud storage. That's one of their

739
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: biggest growing areas of money for that company. This is

740
00:35:55,200 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Welcome to another hour of rich on Tech.

Speaker 1: got lots of shows. This has show number ninety eight,

757
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: so you can find that there as well. How good

758
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: is your password? Nord Pass, you know one of the

759
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: password manager programs. They have a vested interest in this stuff.

760
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: But they've been studying passwords for four six years, and uh,

761
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: apparently password habits are not improving. Even with all the

762
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: people like myself that are saying you got to get

763
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: a better password, people are still using week week passwords,

764
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: and this is for their personal systems and their company computers.

765
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: One two three, four five six is the most common

766
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: password for the fifth time in six years. Now here's

767
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: the thing. You may say, Oh, I do one two

768
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: three four five six exclamation point, that'll keep them out. No,

769
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: these uh, these hackers use sophisticated programs that can figure

770
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: out these passwords in seconds. In fact, looking at their

771
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 1: website NordPass dot com slash a most common password list,

772
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: Uh one two, three, four five six, you might think

773
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: seven eight nine.

774
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: Adding to the end is going to be better. No

775
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: one two.

776
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: Okay, So in the top ten, you've got the combination

777
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: of knowing one two, three, four, five six, seven eight nine,

778
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: and you've got password coardy one two three one one

779
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 1: one one one one one secret Secret is number nine. Yeah,

780
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: that'll keep them out. I Love you number eighteen, Dragon

781
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: number twenty monkey number twenty one password with a capital

782
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 1: P number twenty six. Yeah, that'll that'll keep them out.

783
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: Target one two three, tinkle number twenty nine. Oh bobo,

784
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: they found your password. Oh yours is twinkle, of course,

785
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: twinkle twinkle, Uh cordy with a G number thirty three.

786
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: Uh okay. It just goes on and on and on. Now,

787
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: by the way, all of these passwords, every single one

788
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: of them, until you get to the word the number

789
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: number one O eight, which is seven seven five eight

790
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: five two one. Every single one before that takes a

791
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: second less than a second to crack using software. This

792
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: one takes uh four minutes, but they'll still crack it.

793
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: Let's see anything that's seventeen minute. Wow, So if you

794
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: use the password unknown, that actually takes seventeen minutes to crack.

795
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: So I guess, at the at the very least, if

796
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: you're okay. So it looks like interesting. So Nicole takes

797
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: two minutes, Anthony takes seventeen to crack. They recommend a

798
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: password of at least twenty characters long. You will never

799
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: remember a password that's twenty characters long. Plus you have

800
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: to mix uppercase, lowercase numbers, and symbols. Never reuse passwords

801
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: across accounts. Consider going passwordless. You can use an option

802
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: like passkeys. It's kind of funny. I've only set up

803
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: pass keys on like one account, but every time I

804
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: log into that account, I love it because it's so easy.

805
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: You just unlock your phone and it puts you into

806
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: the account. It's super, super easy. And of course, use

807
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: a password manager. Use a password manager. I talked about it.

808
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: You can use there's so many. There's a Bitwarden that's free,

809
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: nord pass one password dash.

810
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: Lane, there's so many.

811
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: Just pick one and use it and secure that with

812
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: a good password and make sure that you do not

813
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:09,479
Speaker 1: lose your recovery key. Let's go to Paul in Columbus, Ohio. Paul,

814
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: you're on with Richel.

815
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 4: Huh. I love it.

816
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: I'll just give you a hard time.

817
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got a Tshiba notebook that I'm donating to

818
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 4: the local library at the old computer, but it was

819
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 4: hardly used and it still boots up the better. He's good, mom.

820
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 4: I want to wipe it so they could put Linux

821
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: or Chrome Plus or something like that on. But I've

822
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: got Windows seven right now.

823
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Yeah, So that's trickier because the new versions

824
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: of Windows have an easy way to wipe them. The

825
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: old ones do not, So what are you trying to do?

826
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: What have you tried to do with this?

827
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 4: Oh? I know I'm having not much because I didn't

828
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 4: want to screw something up. But I know there was

829
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 4: a stuff stuff I looked up. It said to go

830
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 4: to restore and recover. I think it was. Yeah, I

831
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: mean at the end of the matter of fact, I've

832
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 4: heard you talk about this to some extent in the path.

833
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you can't screw much up because this

834
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: computer is you know it's going You're just going to

835
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: recycle it. But so on Windows, let's see here. So

836
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: Windows eight, Windows eight and ten and eleven obviously have

837
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: an easy way to do this. Windows seven does not.

838
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: So there are a couple of couple of apps you

839
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: can use to do this if you want to just

840
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: erase the hard drive. One of them is killed disc.

841
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: Have you heard of that one? Okay, so that's one.

842
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: There used to be one called DBAN, but I guess

843
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: that one is not really maintained anymore. But that's what

844
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 1: that did in the past, is that you would basically

845
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: make a put it on a drive like on a

846
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: CD drive. You'd put it in the drive and as

847
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: soon as you turn on that computer, it would see

848
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: that program and it just erase everything. So it seems

849
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: like it's still available. But last I heard, I got

850
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: an email from a listener last year, Dave, and he

851
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: said that d BAN is abandon where it has not

852
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: been maintained in many years. It's full of bugs and

853
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: it won't boot on a lot of systems. So he

854
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: says there is two things that he recommended, which is

855
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: n wipe and a bootable version of that called shred os.

856
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: So those are the the things that you can look up.

857
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: But apparently, you know, all of these look like they

858
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: take a little bit of know how to do, so

859
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: it may not be that easy if you if you know,

860
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: if you don't have the full know how, what about

861
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: just putting what about just putting the chromos on there?

862
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: That the chromos flex.

863
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 4: Flex you know, I said plus was flex. Okay? Could

864
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 4: with that overright the window?

865
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: It should if you if you put it on there,

866
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: as long as you're installing it and not just running

867
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: it off the you know, off the us B because

868
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: you can run this off a USB drive, but if

869
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: you actually install it on there, you can you know,

870
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 1: that'll that'll format everything, it'll wipe everything.

871
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 2: Off, so you might try that. Yeah, okay, and that

872
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: that'll make it.

873
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 4: I don't even care if Windows seven was on make

874
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 4: sure whether there's not much data on it otherwise, but

875
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 4: they didn't want to erase it other one.

876
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, no you won't. You won't need that. It's because

877
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: once it's on there.

878
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: So basically, you you create this bootable USB drive and

879
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: then uh, that's it. You install it on your your mac. Uh,

880
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: well let's see it on trying to see what's going

881
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: on here. Okay, Yeah, you install it on your PC

882
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: or MAC to replace the operating system and that's it.

883
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: And it's that's pretty easy. Maybe just do that and

884
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: that way you give it to them already ready to go.

885
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 4: Okay, thought chickie.

886
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chrome os Flex it's called. I'll put that in

887
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: the show notes as well. Yeah, we got a quick minute.

888
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 4: Okay. I've got an older Ethernet switch that I've got

889
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 4: my television and Apple Box connected to, and sometimes I'm

890
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 4: getting a pause or a problem with buffering, and I'm

891
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 4: just wondering if the switch could cause an old switch

892
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: could kill it. That's like eight or nine sports on.

893
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: I don't think so, I mean a switch is going

894
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: to be at minimum one hundred. You know it's it's

895
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: a minimum one hundred. So there's no way that that's

896
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: going to cause buffering on these systems.

897
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 4: So what's causing me to get pauses in the middle

898
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 4: of a program? Have you radically?

899
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: Have you tried connecting the device via Wi Fi to

900
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: your router and see if it still happens.

901
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 4: No, it's hard Everything is hard wired at this point.

902
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: Can you disconnect that hard wire or no?

903
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could sure, I would use a yet or

904
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 4: t a cube.

905
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well yeah, I mean you shouldn't be experiencing buffering

906
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 1: the fire TV cube has that's actually like the highest

907
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 1: powered fire So I would say what I would try

908
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: to do is I would do two things. I would

909
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: first off, connect You might need a long Ethernet cable

910
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: to do this, depending on where your router is, but

911
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: I would connect the fire TV Cube first. I would

912
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: just try it over Wi Fi and see if the

913
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: problem persists. And if that problem persists and you know,

914
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: it's the cube itself and it's not the actual Internet connection,

915
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: then the second thing I would do is connect. If

916
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: it's still happening that way, then I would connect the

917
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: fireTV Cube directly to your router with an Ethernet cable

918
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: and see if it happens there. So if it continues

919
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: to happen with all the different methods of connecting, then

920
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: you know it's something with your fire TV Cube and Paul,

921
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: what I would do is my favorite solution is to

922
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: just bring that back to factory settings and see if

923
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: that continues to happen. You might have installed an app

924
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: on there something that's just not agreeing with it, and

925
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: it's that's what's happening and causing that stumble. But today,

926
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: in today's day and age, unless you're watching the Netflix

927
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: Live fight, you shouldn't really have buffering issues.

928
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 2: It's just the way it is.

929
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,719

932
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology at

933
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: eighty eight rich one O one eight eight eight seven

934
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. The website for

935
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: the show richon Tech dot tv.

936
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 2: Let's see.

937
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: We got an email from Brian in San Diego. He says, Hey, Rich,

938
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: I love your show. I have a question about video editing.

939
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: Is there a software or app that can automatically edit

940
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: video clips into a full video. I have hours of

941
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: go Pro footage from a motorcycle trip from San Diego

942
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: to the bottom tip of South America, but the amount

943
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: of footage feels overwhelming. Is there something I can automatically

944
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: go through and find parts of clips that are good

945
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: and cut them out and combine them with other clips?

946
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 2: Thanks keeps the keep the show rolling, Brian.

947
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: Yes, there are programs that can do this, but I

948
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: will tell you every time I've ever tested one, it's

949
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: pretty horrible. They're just nothing will replace an actual human

950
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: being going through the video and formatting it for the

951
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: video that you want. So I understand, and this is

952
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: just a common occurrence. We shoot so many pictures, so

953
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: many videos, and when it comes to placing those together,

954
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: it is not easy. Now, as someone who edits video

955
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: every single day of my life, I find that of course,

956
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: I want to have the ultimate say to what these

957
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: videos look like, and I can trioge pretty quickly and

958
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: find stuff, but I get it. It's it's a lot

959
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: of work. It's not easy. But there are some programs

960
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: that will do this, and you can try them out

961
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: and see what happens. The first is actually built into GoPro.

962
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: So GoPro knows that this is an issue for people

963
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: that shoot a lot of GoPro stuff, so they have

964
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: what's called go pro Quick qu I K. So if

965
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: you download that app, and I don't think you have

966
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: to pay for it, but yeah, you can import your

967
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: go pro video into there and it will come up

968
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: with a little highlight reel. And all of these, by

969
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: the way, will come up with a highlight reel that

970
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: lets you eventually tweak it to what you want. So

971
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: go Pro not only will it take the the the

972
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: video footage that you've shot on GoPro, but any other camera,

973
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: so it can be anything. So I've tried that in

974
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: the past. It's pretty good. And all of these programs

975
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: are really looking for you know, they're looking for smiling faces,

976
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: they're looking for the action in the shot. You know,

977
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 1: they're programmed to look for certain things in the video

978
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: clips that might make that something that you want to see. Eventually,

979
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: they're not human beings, so they don't always get it right,

980
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 1: but they will do that. And also this go pro

981
00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: Quick can auto sync the edits to music. You can

982
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: change the video speed you've got filters that you can

983
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: choose from, so that's go pro quick Quik.

984
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 2: I've tried it.

985
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: I've never really I don't think I've ever posted a

986
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: video that has been made automatically. I just haven't because

987
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: they just they're never like they're they're almost there. The

988
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 1: other one that I used to use, I don't know

989
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: if this is around anymore, but there's one called Magisto

990
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 1: M A G I t O, but it doesn't I

991
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: don't know if this is actually around. It looks like

992
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: they might have been purchased by Vimeo, and this one

993
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: was actually it looks like it's still on here.

994
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah okay, oh yeah it was. Yep, it was purchased

995
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 2: by Vimeo.

996
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: It looks like no, it says it was updated in

997
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, so I might try it. Magisto is

998
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: another one that I've used in the past. Again, it's

999
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: just okay. The other one, I mean, obviously the big

1000
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: one is cap cut. So cap cut is gonna have

1001
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: this feature built into it and you can upload your stuff.

1002
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: It will come up with a little clip reel and

1003
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: this might be just fine. This might be all you

1004
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: need is just a quick clip reel of the stuff.

1005
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 2: That you shot.

1006
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: But I find that if you really want to do this,

1007
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: download one of these apps, like I would say, download

1008
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 1: a cap cut or download you know, any of these

1009
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 1: video There's so many video editing apps, but cap cut

1010
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: is one that I really like. Splice is the other

1011
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: one that I like. I think that's that's both iOS

1012
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: and Android, but those are those are both easy ways

1013
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: to kind of do this on your phone. But for

1014
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: me personally, if I'm doing something that that's a bigger project,

1015
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm doing this on my computer with final cut Pro.

1016
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: You can also get final Cut Pro on your iPad

1017
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: if you have if you have a recent iPad, I

1018
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: think you have to have an m chip in the

1019
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: iPad to use final cut Pro, but it's like five

1020
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: bucks a month.

1021
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 2: But that might be an easy way to do it

1022
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 2: on your iPad.

1023
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: And you might find, Brian, that you enjoy doing this,

1024
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, once you start getting into it, you might

1025
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: find that you really like, you know, because what you

1026
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: do is just take all the clips that you have,

1027
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: put them all in the timeline and just go through

1028
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: each clip and just kind of triage it, like just

1029
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: clip the parts out that aren't interesting, delete the clips

1030
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: that aren't interesting, and then clip the little areas of

1031
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: the clip that's interesting, and then you'll just keep going

1032
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: from there. So now you're twenty minutes of footage becomes

1033
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: ten minutes of footage, You're ten minutes a footage becomes

1034
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: five minutes a footage, You're five minutes of footage becomes

1035
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: three minutes, and just keep going through. So those that's

1036
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: the way I usually do it if I have a

1037
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: lot of stuff to work with, great question and have fun.

1038
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: That sounds like a fun trip. Now let's get into

1039
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,479
Speaker 1: your Amazon News before we have. We've got ed Bag

1040
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: coming up. He wrote for USA Today for many many

1041
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: years and now he is the current AARP Tech editor.

1042
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 1: He's going to talk about remote solutions for helping your

1043
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: aging parents with their technology challenges if you don't live

1044
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: near them, or we'll we're just.

1045
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 2: Going to talk in general.

1046
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to talk and see he edited all

1047
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: the events over the years, so we'll talk to him

1048
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But let me give your Amazon News.

1049
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: So first off, Amazon doing their Black Friday sale starts

1050
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: November twenty first, so they're doing it for a week

1051
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 1: November twenty first through December second. That might be longer

1052
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: than a week, and of course they're promising all kinds

1053
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: of stuff.

1054
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 2: Oh look at this.

1055
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: You can get gas savings for the first time this year,

1056
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,479
Speaker 1: twenty five cents a gallon for Prime members. So buy

1057
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 1: your gas during Prime Week. I mean you probably have

1058
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: to buy it anyway, don't wait. Amazon also launching their competitor,

1059
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: I guess their answer to Timu. It's called Amazon Hall.

1060
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: This is a section that sells stuff that's just twenty

1061
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: dollars or less. Many items are priced under ten dollars

1062
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: summer as low as a dollar. Here's the catch. It

1063
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: takes you one to two weeks to get this stuff

1064
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: delivered Amazon, which has made their name on super fast delivery.

1065
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: The last time I got something delivered, I ordered it

1066
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: that night and I got it delivered between four and

1067
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: seven am. So this you have to wait up to

1068
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: two weeks. I guess to compete with Timu. I guess

1069
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: it's cheaper. Four dollars shipping fee for anything under twenty

1070
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 1: five dollars, fifteen dollars return window, eight thousand return locations.

1071
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 2: You can get an.

1072
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: iPhone sixteen case for a bucks seventy nine, kitchen tongs

1073
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: for four ninety nine winter gloves for three dollars twenty

1074
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: one cents, table runners for two dollars ninety nine cents.

1075
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: Amazon dot Com slash haul you can only shop from

1085
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 1: now is a former USA Today Tech columnist and current

1086
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: AARP Tech editor.

1087
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,760
Speaker 2: Ed bay Ed Welcome to the show.

1088
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 7: Hey, Rich, how you doing?

1089
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: I am doing fantastic. So we've seen each other at

1090
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 1: many of the tech events over the years. How many

1091
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: years did you cover tech for USA Today? It was

1092
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: a long time.

1093
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 7: It was a long time, about twenty years, actually twenty

1094
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 7: years over twenty years. Yeah, it's hard to believe. It

1095
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 7: goes fast.

1096
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 1: And do you remember kind of the first thing that

1097
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: wowed you there? Because twenty years are talking, Oh, this

1098
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: is pre iPhone.

1099
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 7: It's pre iPhone. I mean, there were a lot of

1100
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 7: things through the years. I mean I remember early on

1101
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 7: being excited about the first Kindle for example, Wow, going back.

1102
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 7: But the iPhone, of course, as we know, I'm not

1103
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 7: breaking news here, changed so much. And I was fortunate

1104
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 7: to be one of four reviewers who got to review

1105
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 7: the initial iPhone ahead of ahead of its launch, and

1106
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 7: that was an interesting time, to say the least. And

1107
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 7: I remember giving it a pretty glowing review and I

1108
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 7: called it a prodigy and I said, like, some of

1109
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 7: them burn out. Well I guess the iPhone didn't burn out.

1110
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 1: No, that has been quite the quite the amazing thing

1111
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: for Apple. But here's the thing, and this happens with

1112
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: a lot of tech products. When you're reviewing things in

1113
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: a vacuum, especially something that different that no one had

1114
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: ever really seen before. I mean, you're by yourself, You're

1115
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: reviewing this thing, and you're like, I don't know, like,

1116
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: are people going to like this or people not? Like

1117
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: it was very limited when it first came out, but

1118
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 1: it was so different that it was tough to compare

1119
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 1: it to other things.

1120
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 7: So exactly exactly, it was limited, but it also was

1121
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,800
Speaker 7: very cool. I mean, you know, it didn't have things

1122
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 7: that we all take for granted now. You know, there

1123
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 7: was no app store to take one example back then,

1124
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 7: and of course through the years we know how that changed.

1125
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 2: Yes, no turn by turn directions.

1126
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean they had they had Google Maps on there,

1127
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: but it wasn't the turn by turn that we all

1128
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: know and love today. I remember when the Motorola I

1129
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: think it was called the Droid Bionic came out with it.

1130
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: It was the first exclusive turn by turn. It even

1131
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: came with like a harness for your car to like

1132
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: set it up like a GPS device.

1133
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 4: You know.

1134
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean so many things over the years. So

1135
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 1: tell me about ARP as the tech editor. What's what's happening.

1136
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 7: Well, well, I'm writing a column Tech Ask kind of

1137
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 7: asked the Tech Guru column in which we're taking questions

1138
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 7: from readers and so you know, I'll give a plug

1139
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 7: there send in your questions.

1140
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 2: What are the concerns that readers are.

1141
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 7: Well people, you know, it's interesting because we're dealing with

1142
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 7: the fifty plus crowd. I mean there's a lot of

1143
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 7: people who want, you know, hold on to landlines or

1144
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 7: their old phone numbers and things like that. You know,

1145
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,760
Speaker 7: so we get we get interested in things like that certainly,

1146
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 7: Like you know, it's very hard to generalize. Sometimes people think, oh,

1147
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 7: a certain generation is in his tech savvy, but you know,

1148
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 7: lots of people have grown up through the years with

1149
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 7: technology who are certainly in the ARP crowd. So you know,

1150
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 7: the people at every end of the spectrum in terms

1151
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 7: of technology.

1152
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 2: And and post fifty at is not that old.

1153
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 7: It's not.

1154
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: Maybe when I was a kid, I thought it was,

1155
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: but now I don't think that's that old. Let's talk

1156
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: about some of the stuff in your recent One of

1157
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: your recent articles or one of the recent articles in

1158
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: AARP talked about access, like remote access. You know, if

1159
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: you have a parent that's across the miles they need

1160
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: some help with their computer. Is there a way to

1161
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: give that remote tech support?

1162
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 4: There?

1163
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 7: There is. There are several ways. And it's interesting because

1164
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 7: many people, you know, if you work for a company,

1165
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 7: for example, you may have had situations where you know,

1166
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 7: an IT person in your organization will will literally take

1167
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 7: control of your computer remotely, and if you feel comfortable

1168
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 7: with it, you let them access you know, have at

1169
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 7: the cursor and do what they have to do. Well,

1170
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 7: you can actually do that, say with with you know

1171
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 7: a parent or a grandparent who, as you say, lives

1172
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 7: miles and miles away and you can't you can't answer

1173
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 7: the support call and go to their house.

1174
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 4: Easily.

1175
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 7: Built into Windows, for example, is something called the Windows

1176
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 7: Quick Assist and literally when you press control Windows, the

1177
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 7: Windows logo key and the queue simultaneously, it brings up

1178
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 7: this thing and there's some boxes there and a tool appears.

1179
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 7: It's a pop up window, and it creates a code

1180
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 7: that the person helping with being you in this case,

1181
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 7: shares with the person needing help. And again, if they

1182
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 7: feel comfortable with this, uh, you can literally take over

1183
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 7: their computer and you're now the I T person for

1184
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 7: your for your mom or your dad or your grandparents.

1185
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

1186
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 2: And that's built in two Windows, built into Windows. I

1187
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 2: did not know that.

1188
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, there are some alternatives. There are a bunch

1189
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 7: of programs out there. I frankly haven't tested them, but

1190
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 7: they're programs with names like any Desk and there's something

1191
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 7: called detail Service and help wire and team Viewer.

1192
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 3: Uh.

1193
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 7: There's a lot of ways to do that. There's a

1194
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 7: lot of remote programs out there, but again, you've got

1195
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 7: this one built right into Windows. That's wild can be

1196
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 7: very helpful.

1197
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm curious because okay, look at it. I just

1198
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: looked it up and it says learn to protect yourself

1199
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: from tech support scams. Because here's the thing, ed, we

1200
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: know that these these scam artists, one of the biggest

1201
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: ways they take over people's computers is they tell them

1202
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: to download some software, right they say, okay, now we're

1203
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: going to lead you through. Could this be used nefariously

1204
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: in that way as well? Like should people be aware

1205
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 1: of that? Like if someone if someone that's not your

1206
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: kid says, hey, let's connect using quick Assist, don't don't

1207
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: allow it.

1208
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 7: Absolutely, you always have to keep your guard up, especially nowadays.

1209
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 7: You know, Uh, scams, I mean we unfortunately, it's it's

1210
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 7: the way of the world. There are a lot of

1211
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 7: scams out there, and AI is helping perpetrate some of that.

1212
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 4: I guess.

1213
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 7: The bottom line here is do not do not grant

1214
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 7: full access to a device to anyone you do not trust. Uh,

1215
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 7: And even if it's somebody you think is a relative.

1216
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 7: Make sure you know when you're when you're on one

1217
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 7: of these things, uh, you know, be on the phone too.

1218
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 7: At the same time, you know, Uh, that's always, you know,

1219
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 7: a helpful and easy thing to do. And even if

1220
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 7: you're able to disconnect what you are because obviously, if

1221
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 7: you take over my computer and I don't like what

1222
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 7: you're doing, I can put you off. But before I

1223
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 7: do that, who knows what damage you might do?

1224
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 2: What about AI? Because you know everyone's using it.

1225
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: I was just doing a talk to some folks the

1226
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: other night and I said, look, don't be afraid of AI, Like,

1227
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 1: try it out. You're not going to break anything. And

1228
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: if you don't know how to use it, literally, you

1229
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: could ask AI. You know, if I'm trying to figure

1230
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 1: out how to do something, I will ask AI how

1231
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: to ask it.

1232
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 2: I'll say, hey, how would I ask you to do this?

1233
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 7: And it will tell me yeah, and sometimes exactly. And

1234
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 7: that's a good, good use case for it, you know,

1235
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 7: because it you know, it helps your brainstorm. You know,

1236
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 7: what what is it? I forgot to ask? What is

1237
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 7: it I should be asking? Who should I should be asking?

1238
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 4: Now?

1239
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 7: Of course we are, you know, we have to make

1240
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 7: sure that the answers that you're getting are accurate. You know,

1241
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 7: there's something out there that the tech community has called hallucinations,

1242
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 7: where it sounds like what you know, it sounds like

1243
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 7: a really authoritative, plausible answer, but guess what, it might

1244
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 7: be made up or wrong. Now that stuff's getting a

1245
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 7: little bit better, some of the companies behind this are

1246
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 7: beginning to be a little bit better at providing sources

1247
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 7: for the information that that's being you know, sent to you.

1248
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 7: But you really have to be careful with what you're

1249
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 7: getting back.

1250
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing, Like nobody really wants to

1251
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: sit there and fact check everything. But I've been using Perplexity,

1252
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: which I really like for the you know, gives these

1253
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: answers and then I'll give you like kind of where

1254
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: it got the answers. I know that all of them

1255
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: are really starting to do that more and more. Like

1256
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: I've noticed, you know, Gemini kind of I think they

1257
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,919
Speaker 1: kind of pioneered the the Google one. Well, I guess

1258
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: Perplexity always did, but now I've even noticed because chat

1259
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: gybt has the web search built in, I think you

1260
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: have to be premium.

1261
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 2: To get it.

1262
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 7: But yes, I know right now, Yeah.

1263
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: They're giving some uh what do we call it citations

1264
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: back in the day, right when you wrote a book report.

1265
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 7: Exactly exactly, and you know, I tell people have fun

1266
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 7: with AI. You know, when I first started playing around

1267
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 7: with it, I would be in a restaurant with my

1268
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 7: family and and I remember one one time, We're at

1269
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 7: a pizza place where it was cash only, and I

1270
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 7: suddenly panic because I don't know about you, but I

1271
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 7: don't carry that much cash for me anymore. And I

1272
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 7: so I'm gonna ask. I'm gonna have chat Gypt, I

1273
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 7: think it was at the time, write a little on

1274
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 7: the spot, little script about a scene about what it

1275
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 7: is if you're in a restaurant without you know, without cash.

1276
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 7: And it did it, and you know, it was not

1277
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 7: an episode of Law and Order or anything, but it

1278
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 7: wasn't bad. And then I'd said, well make it, you know,

1279
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 7: add a character or make it better or jazz it

1280
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 7: up somehow, and it would do that. And that was

1281
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 7: early on. So you can have fun with AI too,

1282
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 7: but just be careful if you're you know, be careful

1283
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,919
Speaker 7: about using it for something that's really serious, well, finance, health,

1284
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 7: et cetera.

1285
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 2: How did you get out of the restaurant without the cash?

1286
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 7: My wife had kid?

1287
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: Okay, well I was so, I just I was at

1288
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: a restaurant the other night with my family in New

1289
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: York City actually, and I forgot to I locked my

1290
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: wallet in my suitcase because I left the room and

1291
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 1: I left it in the room to go on a run,

1292
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: and when I went out to dinner, I forgot to

1293
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: bring it, and so I'm eating dinner, and of course

1294
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: I was actually treating for dinner. So I was like,

1295
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: you guys won't believe this, but I actually forgot my wallet.

1296
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: And my family was like, I mean, now they all

1297
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: had their cards, so I could, you know. It wasn't

1298
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: like we couldn't pay for dinner, but actually was able

1299
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: to add my card from my payment. I actually have

1300
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: a credit card app, you know, like one of my

1301
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: bank apps, and it lets you add the card to

1302
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: your wallet right from the app, and so I thought

1303
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: that was kind of cool. I was like, oh, this

1304
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: is why that's here. So I didn't even need the

1305
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 1: physical card and I was able to tap to pay.

1306
01:03:57,920 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: I asked the waiter, did do you take tap to

1307
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: pay here? And he's like, yeah, we do. I'm like

1308
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: all right, I'm like I will pay that way.

1309
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 7: You were ready to wash dishes.

1310
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I was gonna just have my family pay

1311
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: and I'd be like sorry, I said, I'd treat. But

1312
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: you know you're paying any AI that you like, anything

1313
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 1: that you're using.

1314
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 7: Well, I'm trying to play around with everything at this point.

1315
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,920
Speaker 7: You know, I'm interested in in where AI is going

1316
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 7: with with healthcare, and really there's a lot of as

1317
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 7: you know, again, I'm not breaking news here to say

1318
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 7: that everybody is involved with this in some way. So

1319
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 7: I'm playing around with everybody and they all have, you know,

1320
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 7: things I like and things that could certainly be better.

1321
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 7: But I I it's hard to say I would. It's

1322
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 7: hard to pick a favorite, if.

1323
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: You will, Yeah, we're definitely, I mean, I'm the same way.

1324
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm using so many different ones. All right, A r

Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

1337
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at Triple eight Rich one

1338
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: on one. That's eight eight eight seven four to two

1339
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 1: four one zero one. I got to tell you the

1340
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: gift of the year, and I said this probably last year,

1341
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: but it is just unbelievably amazing.

1342
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 4: Uh.

1343
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: I gave my dad one of those Aura frames a

1344
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: U R A and uh I didn't really know if

1345
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: you would even like it, Like it's a digital picture frame, right,

1346
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: And I am not kidding. I have never ever in

1347
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: my life seen me give something to my dad that

1348
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: was so quickly and universally loved. I've just never seen

1349
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: anything like it. Like literally, he could not believe how

1350
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: amazing it was that he could see the pictures that

1351
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: he takes on his phone on his kitchen counter and

1352
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: he's like, it's just he just keeps adding them and

1353
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: adding them and adding them and adding them. And I said, well,

1354
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know everyone else can add pictures to

1355
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: this frame as well from our phones, and it's just

1356
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: it's just such an incredible thing that once again I

1357
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: just can't help but recommend it.

1358
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 2: So it's a U R A.

1359
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: And it's just I've tried a lot of these different

1360
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: digital frames. I think that this brand is the best

1361
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: because it's so simple and easy to use, and also

1362
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: the software is really good and that makes a big difference.

1363
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember back in the day when digital

1364
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,479
Speaker 1: frames first started, you had to put like an SD

1365
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: card into them, and that's how you got the pictures

1366
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: on there.

1367
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 2: This is all Wi Fi.

1368
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: And the cool thing is you can when you go

1369
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: home for the holidays, you can set this up for

1370
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: your family member and then you can still continue to

1371
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: put pictures on that frame from your phone where you live.

1372
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 1: So I'll put a link in the show notes or

1373
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 1: a A U R A. And it's pretty pretty amazing.

1374
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: I just thought of that because I got a notification

1375
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,919
Speaker 1: that my dad added more pictures to his frame. That's

1376
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: why I thought about it, said, your dad has added

1377
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: twenty more pictures to his frame.

1378
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 2: Let's see here website for the show.

1379
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Rich on tech dot TV, James wrote in question on

1380
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Apple Passwords, Hey, Rich, I have if I have everything

1381
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: Apple computer, iPad, phone, is it okay to use Apple

1382
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: Passwords as my password manager instead of one pass et cetera.

1383
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 1: Thank you, enjoy your show. And listening to you on

1384
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: KFI on Tuesday mornings. Thanks Jim and Dana.

1385
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 2: Point.

1386
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Yes, so I think Apple Passwords is perfectly fine. Apple

1387
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 1: Passwords is brand new. It is in iOS eighteen. It

1388
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: is a full fledged passwords app. You can put all

1389
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: your passwords in there. It will generate passwords, it will

1390
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: do the two factor authentications. You can look for your

1391
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: Wi Fi passwords in there. It will also handle pass keys,

1392
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: so it does everything you need. Now here's my caveat

1393
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: This is great if you only use Apple products. If

1394
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: you don't, if you are thinking of switching, or use

1395
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: a combination of products, I don't recommend this. Now if

1396
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: you use a Windows computer, they do have a plug

1397
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,759
Speaker 1: in that will make this work. But you know, Apple's

1398
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 1: heart is not in anything that's not Apple. In fact,

1399
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: they make it actively tough for you to use their

1400
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: stuff with non Apple stuff. So I would say they

1401
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: probably begrudgingly made the password manager work for Windows computers,

1402
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: but they know that. Okay, you might have an iPhone

1403
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: plus a Windows computer. Fine, we'll give you this functionality.

1404
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: But I would say, James, in your instance, yes, if

1405
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: you have everything Apple and you're sticking to Apple forever, fine,

1406
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: use it, but so like even okay, let me just

1407
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 1: look at my Okay, so my passwords here. So like

1408
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking to see if there's a way to export

1409
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: all my passwords to another device. Now, almost every single

1410
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: password manager in the world pretty much lets you export

1411
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: your passwords to another program if you want to switch.

1412
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm not finding that in the Apple passwords.

1413
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: Let me look in the apps. Let me see if

1414
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: it's in the Maybe it's in the apps. Let's see passwords. Okay,

1415
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: can you export? No, I don't see any way to

1416
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: export my passwords. So that would be my number one

1417
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: red flag is that if you're using something like a

1418
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: dash lane or a one password or a Bitwarden or

1419
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: nord pass, there's a million of them out there, they

1420
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: all let you export your stuff so that you can

1421
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: switch to another program. Apple, I don't see that functionality.

1422
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: So that's one thing. Number two, I don't think it's

1423
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: that easy to use, honestly, Like, I'm looking to see

1424
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 1: if I want to add a new item, and it's

1425
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,839
Speaker 1: just okay, I think I'm just I think it's better

1426
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: than nothing. Like obviously, it just locks you into their

1427
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 1: ecosystem more and more and sure, it's easy and it's

1428
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: gonna work with all their Safari and all this stuff.

1429
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: But to me, I would just feel better if you

1430
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,759
Speaker 1: signed up with a third party app. But again, James,

1431
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: if you're just gonna use Apple stuff, fine, it's gonna

1432
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: work and it's better than nothing. So that's that's the

1433
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: main thing is that's better than nothing. Let's see another

1434
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 1: question here. Dennis writes in from San Clementy. Hey, Rich,

1435
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: I've lost my email, which was SBC Global dot net

1436
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: the Southern Bell. They were bought by Yahoo and years

1437
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: later Yahoo was bought by AT and T and three

1438
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 1: months ago I opened up my email and nothing's there. James,

1439
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, this is Dennis. Dennis Yahoo has I guess

1440
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: they purchased or they whatever. It's switched over to Yahoo

1441
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 1: mail now. So as I understand, if you go to

1442
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: Yahoo dot com and log in with your original SBC

1443
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: globe Net email address and password, your emails should be there.

1444
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: Same thing with Cox if you have Cox Cable whatever

1445
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 1: it was Cox Internet and your email used to be

1446
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 1: through Cox. Yahoo also purchased that, or I guess they.

1447
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: I don't know if they purchased it or they were

1448
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: seated it whatever, it was, it's handed over to Yahoo.

1449
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 1: They're handling it now. Same thing with AT and T.

1450
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 1: It's all Yahoo mail now. So just go to Yahoo

1451
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: dot com your Yahoo mail and log in with your

1452
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: original log in and it should come over. That says,

1453
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:35,920

Speaker 2: Seven four to two four one zero one. Sad Week.

1465
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 1: The voice behind You've Got Mail has died. Elwood Edwards

1466
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: was the iconic voice behind aols You've Got Mail greeting.

1467
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: He passed away at seventy four in North Carolina. Now

1468
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:31,759
Speaker 1: he recorded that famous phrase You've got mail, along with welcome,

1469
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: file's done, and goodbye. I can't do it as good

1470
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: as he did back in nineteen eighty nine. He recorded

1471
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: that and guess what he was paid just two hundred

1472
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:45,679
Speaker 1: bucks for it. His wife, Karen, was a customer service

1473
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: rep at the company and volunteered him for the job.

1474
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: This is when Steve Case was running the place, and uh,

1475
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: just so wild that you can imagine that his wife

1476
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 1: was like, hey, would you mind recording these things? We're

1477
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: doing something at work, and next thing you know, you

1478
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 1: are literally the voice of millions of Americans checking their

1479
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 1: email on a daily basis and logging onto the internet.

1480
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,560
Speaker 1: Edwards maintained a successful career in broadcasting. He made appearances

1481
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: on shows like The Tonight Show, and he just you know,

1482
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: he never really did much more than the You've got

1483
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: mail stuff, but kind of cool, just so cool that

1484
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: I think he said, he didn't really make a lot

1485
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: of money on that, but he was able. You know,

1486
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: he had a nice career in broadcasting. I think he

1487
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: worked at a local TV station. But anyway, we all

1488
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 1: know that phrase. We've all said that phrase. There was

1489
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: a movie of the same name, and I remember having

1490
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: AOL by the way back in the day, and I

1491
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,440
Speaker 1: remember they had a section. AOL was like all little sections.

1492
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 1: It was like sports entertainment news, and then there's a

1493
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: section called like Internet. And I remember every day I'd

1494
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,519
Speaker 1: log onto my computer waiting for that little Internet to

1495
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: switch from like coming soon to like now you can

1496
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:03,919
Speaker 1: access the Internet.

1497
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 2: And one day it just switched, and I was like,

1498
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, where do I go? And I don't

1499
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 2: even know.

1500
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 1: I think I probably went to like yahoo dot com

1501
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: because there's like nothing on the Internet. I mean there was,

1502
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 1: but it was like mostly like you know, universities and

1503
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: personal web pages and things like that. But what a

1504
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 1: wild ride it's been, that is for sure, what a

1505
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: wild ride.

1506
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 2: Let's go to.

1507
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Julie in Downy, California.

1508
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 2: Julie, I hear you. Can you lower your radio in

1509
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 2: the background so we can hear your lovely voice?

1510
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, Okay, can you hear me now?

1511
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 2: I can hear you now.

1512
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 1: It's like the Verizon guy before he went to sprint.

1513
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,640
Speaker 2: Okay, how's that sound great? What can I help you with?

1514
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 4: Okay?

1515
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 9: Sorry about that?

1516
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 8: Okay.

1517
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 3: So, my mom, who is an iPhone iPad user, is

1518
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 3: looking to get a new iPad because hers.

1519
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 5: Is not holding a charge and she can't update some

1520
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 5: of her apps anymore.

1521
01:14:55,600 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, So she doesn't want to spend the.

1522
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 4: Money for a pro.

1523
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 6: She doesn't want a mini. And when I started to research,

1524
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 6: I was looking at either ninth or tenth generation or

1525
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:10,719
Speaker 6: is there something else?

1526
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: No, I just go with the tenth the tenth generation

1527
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: iPad for mom. I think that's going to be on

1528
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 1: sale over the holidays a lot. I'm already seeing. Uh

1529
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 1: looks like the lowest price already is let's see two

1530
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: sixty nine. Usually it's about three fifty, so.

1531
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 2: It's already on sale. Let me see how much it

1532
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 2: is on UH.

1533
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: So on Apple's website it is the standard price, right,

1534
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 1: which is three fifty all right?

1535
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 2: Sorry to me? Three nine is that? Well?

1536
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: Hold on, wait, that's really weird. If I on their

01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,559
Speaker 1: main website, it says three forty nine. Oh, I'm on

Speaker 1: the education store. Okay, got it. Sorry, I got to

1539
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: exit that. So three hundred and fifty bucks for this thing.

1540
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 1: If you go online and you look at the different websites,

1541
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 1: Amazon on selling it for about three twenty BJS, which

1542
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 1: I don't think you're in Downey. I don't think we

1543
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: have those out here on the West coast. But that's

1544
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: they're selling it. For two seventy So I think that's

1545
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 1: a good indicator of where we might see that price

1546
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: go over the holidays.

1547
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 3: But that's uh, yeah, we don't have a BJ's here

1548
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 3: in California.

1549
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: No, we don't, so no, but you know Costco may

1550
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 1: sell it for that for a similar price.

1551
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,640
Speaker 5: Right another, what did you say that price was?

1552
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 1: Again, that was two seventy nine, So I'm looking at

1553
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: let's see here. Yeah, so Amazon had it as low

1554
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: as three hundred, so I would say, yeah, it looks

1555
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 1: like it looks like the price point that most people

1556
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: are going to have it at is probably around three hundred.

1557
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: If you wait until Black Friday, like specifically that day,

1558
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: you're probably going to get it for a little bit cheaper.

1559
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,440
Speaker 1: But I think in the weeks leading up to it,

1560
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: it's going to flirt with that three hundred dollars price point,

1561
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 1: and maybe places like Costco and BJ's, because they are

1562
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: membership member only, they don't have their prices as heavily

1563
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 1: advertised outside of the store.

1564
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 2: It might be a little cheaper in there, but.

1565
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: That's don't go with the ninth Don't go with the

1566
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: ninth generation just because these things are already old to

1567
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: begin with. Like the tenth and the ninth, so I

1568
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 1: think they you know, the tenth is already from a

1569
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, so I would I would definitely. Wow,

1570
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,839
Speaker 1: I believe it's a I believe it's a twenty twenty

1571
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 1: two model. Let me look, uh macro Rumors. So there's

1572
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 1: a great website called mac Rumors Buyer's Guide. And if

1573
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: I look at the iPad, let's see here the iPad. Yeah,

1574
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: the iPad has been out for seven hundred and sixty

1575
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 1: days since so that's two years. But here's the thing.

1576
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 1: You know, what is mom doing on this thing?

1577
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 5: She looking up named the medicines and reading books and

1578
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:54,640
Speaker 5: not really place any games, and she uses it to

1579
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 5: look up information. Yeah, it can be dangerous.

1580
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:58,640
Speaker 2: This is well as long as she's not.

1581
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 1: You know, uh, does you have her credit card attached

1582
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:03,719
Speaker 1: to Apple pay to maybe take that away from.

1583
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 2: Mom, because yeah, no, she does.

1584
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 1: It's very easy to spend money on these things. These

1585
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 1: little iPads are literally just like they're literally like your

1586
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 1: extension of your bank account to like every company. That's

1587
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: what really the iPhone is. It's like I was ordering

1588
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: DoorDash last night, which I try not to do because

1589
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 1: it's so expensive, and my wife gives me a hard

1590
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: time because I go through like fifteen apps to see

1591
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 1: which one is the cheapest. But these things, really the

1592
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: iPhone revolutionize spending money in the easiest way ever, with

1593
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: no friction. I mean, if you really think about it,

1594
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: that's really what the iPhone has done. Anyway, So I

1595
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: think the iPad, this ten generation iPad, will be just

1596
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:42,520
Speaker 1: fine for mom.

1597
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 5: Okay, wonderful, Thank you so much.

1598
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Appreciate it all right, Julie, have a great day there

1599
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 1: and downy. So a couple of resources for looking for deals.

1600
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 1: Number one, Google Shopping. They just revamped Google Shopping. It's

1601
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: completely new, so if you haven't been to it in

1602
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: a while, check it out Google dot Com, slash shopping.

1603
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:03,599
Speaker 1: If you type in iPad tenth generation, it's gonna give

1604
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,600
Speaker 1: you all the places that sell it that are on

1605
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:09,599
Speaker 1: their kind of like network and how much they're selling

1606
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: it for. So and I should have mentioned this though

1607
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,479
Speaker 1: for mom, for the nine year old mom as well,

1608
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:20,200
Speaker 1: she could go refurbished and save even more money. So

1609
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: there are some places, like a gizmo Go you can

1610
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 1: buy refurbished goods. Let's see, it's back markets. That's one

1611
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: of them where you can buy refurbished goods. So there's

1612
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: a lot of places you can go and buy these

1613
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 1: things that are cheaper. What was the other one that

1614
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: I just found out about Tiptop, So you can go

1615
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: to Tiptop and buy stuff there. So there's a lot

1616
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 1: of ways you can save money. Amazon renewed anyway, So

1617
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: the shopping websites to look for the couple ways I

1618
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:52,679
Speaker 1: look for deals. Number one is Google Shopping. Yahoo actually

1619
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: does a lot with shopping as well, so Yahoo's shopping.

1620
01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: And then the other one I like to do is

1621
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:01,719
Speaker 1: just type in the product that you want into Google,

1622
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 1: so Apple, iPad, tenth generation, and then instead of just

1623
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 1: scrolling through the links, actually hit the news tab and

1624
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:14,799
Speaker 1: you will find that you will see articles about sales

1625
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 1: related to the iPad or whatever product you're looking for.

1626
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:21,639
Speaker 1: Why do you find those It's because all of these

1627
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: bloggers it's in their best interest to post links to

1628
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: these product deals because they get a little tiny cut.

1629
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: It's called affiliate marketing. And so anyone who posted Amazon link,

1630
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: myself included, they might get a little tiny bit of

1631
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: that link. If you if you buy something from them,

1632
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: they might get like one percent of that you know,

1633
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 1: maybe on an iPad like a dollar or something. I

1634
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 1: mean it's pennies, but it's still added up times. You know,

1635
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: with these big blogs, millions of people buying off of them,

1636
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,599
Speaker 1: they get some money every month. So again you can

1637
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 1: see Tom's guide number one link. iPad tenth generation is

1638
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 1: my favorite iPad. It's one hundred and fifty dollars off

1639
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 1: in an early Black Friday deal one hundred ninety nine

1640
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:04,800
Speaker 1: dollars that was on Amazon. The other way to track

1641
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:09,640
Speaker 1: these prices is to install Honey, which I really like.

1642
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: And Honey has this thing called drop list, and once

1643
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 1: you put an item in your shopping car on Amazon

1644
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: or save it, it will email you when that price drops.

1645
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 2: And I'm not kidding.

1646
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 1: So I wanted to get a new ring spotlight for

1647
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 1: my house, and it was typically you know, I don't

1648
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: know whatever it was, but I got an email from Honey.

1649
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:32,839
Speaker 1: I just put it in my shopping cart and just waited,

1650
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:34,760
Speaker 1: and I knew this thing was going to go on sale,

1651
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: and sure enough, Honey emails me and says, hey, this

1652
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 1: thing's on sale for one hundred and thirty bucks, and let's.

1653
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:43,440
Speaker 2: See how much it is now. Ring Spotlight.

1654
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:48,719
Speaker 1: I think it's a floodlight camera I got. Let's see, Yeah,

1655
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: it's up to two hundred dollars right now. I paid

1656
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: one thirty. So again it's it's you're not going to

1657
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: sit there on Amazon and check the prices every single day,

1658
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: but honey is. And so I save seventy bucks on

1659
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: this thing just because I installed this shopping helper.

1660
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 2: Now, obviously honey is.

1661
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 1: You know, it's a business and they're making money because

1662
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 1: I think when you click the link that they send

1663
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 1: you they get a little percentage of that. But hey,

1664
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 1: they save me seventy bucks, so it's all good. Anyway,

1665
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: I'll put all of these in the show notes rich

1683
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology. So this week I went

1684
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: to New York City. This actually might have been a

1685
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: limit for me. I went for twenty four hours, left

1686
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 1: la seven am on I don't know Tuesday morning was it?

1687
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:31,680
Speaker 1: And I returned Wednesday night at eight pm.

1688
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 2: So it was.

1689
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 1: Basically, well, I guess, is that more than twenty four hours.

1690
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 1: It's a little bit more than twenty four any one

1691
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: night in New York City. It was a lot.

1692
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 2: It was.

1693
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,759
Speaker 1: It kind of tested even myself, not because I minded

1694
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: doing all that travel in that time, but it was

1695
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 1: really because I love New York City and it's such

1696
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: a fun place. So I went to dinner with my

1697
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: family on the night I was there. I actually, I

1698
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 1: think I mentioned I used AI to find the restaurant.

1699
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: So I used AI to find the restaurant. It was fantastic.

1700
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: If you want to see by the way, they did

1701
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 1: this thing at the Italian restaurant table side Tierra Mesoue,

1702
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: which it was just fantastic. It's like they made the

1703
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:12,639
Speaker 1: Tierramisioue right right there table side, which I'd never seen before.

1704
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 1: So I posted it to my Instagram at rich On

1705
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: Tech and it was fantastic the restaurant. This is what

1706
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 1: I love about these little walkable cities like that, is

1707
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: that you just walk like we're walking down the street,

1708
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: nothing is around, and all of a sudden, I'm like,

1709
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 1: I think the restaurant's right Oh, there it is, and

1710
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: it's right across the streets. It's a little, tiny, cozy

1711
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: Italian restaurant, nicely lit, decorated for the holidays, and it

1712
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 1: was just so nice and that the owner was there,

1713
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:38,719
Speaker 1: his wife was there, We're chatting with them. It was packed,

1714
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: and it's just it feels like you're in a movie

1715
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 1: because it's cold outside, but it's cozy inside. Everyone's just

1716
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: chatting their big jackets and stuff, except for me, who

1717
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 1: did not realize that it was cold there. So I

1718
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,800
Speaker 1: ended up having to go for a run. I went

1719
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: for a run right when I got off the plane

1720
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:58,599
Speaker 1: and it was freezing. I mean, I'm talking wind whipping

1721
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: all over my ears and I shorts and.

1722
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 2: I just you know, it was just so wild. But

1723
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 2: I had a great time.

1724
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of flying, if you're one of these anxious flyers,

1725
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of folks are, I am not,

1726
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,440
Speaker 1: I personally love flying. I think it's a miracle of technology,

1727
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 1: and I love to put my faith and trust in

1728
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 1: these amazing engineers and pilots that know how to do

1729
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 1: this stuff, because I don't know how it works, honestly,

1730
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: Like I am in this metal tube that is as

1731
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: big as a house with three hundred other people, and

1732
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: somehow it is the most comfortable thing to take off

1733
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: from lax and land in New York City. How is

1734
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 1: that possible? And I'm sitting there like, oh, ring the button, Come,

1735
01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 1: I have another drink please?

1736
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 2: How is that a thing?

1737
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: Like you are literally sailing through the air at six

1738
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour at thirty five thousand feet It

1739
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 1: just works.

1740
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:56,599
Speaker 2: Ninety nine point nine percent of the time.

1741
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,640
Speaker 1: So anyway, needless to say, I love flying, But I

1742
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,760
Speaker 1: know there's some white knuckle folks out there.

1743
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 2: If you're one of those people.

1744
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 1: Travel and Leisure wrote an article about these apps that

1745
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: can help nervous flyers. So the first one is called

1746
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:16,720
Speaker 1: Flying Calmly. This is available for the App Store and

1747
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: Google Play. It gives you turbulence forecasts up to thirty

1748
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 1: six hours ahead, so it shows you if there's going

1749
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,560
Speaker 1: to be turbulence on your flight. Now, I don't know

1750
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 1: about you, if I'm a nervous flyer, I don't know

1751
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 1: if that's a good thing or a bad thing to

1752
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: know it. But I do know someone close to me

1753
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,559
Speaker 1: that is a nervous flyer and they look up the

1754
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 1: turbulence forecast for the flight, and I think that they

1755
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: feel better if they know they're going into the flight

1756
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: when it's not going to be turbulent e. And if

1757
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 1: it is going to be turbulent e if that's even

1758
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 1: a word, they feel better knowing that, Like that's a

1759
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 1: predicted thing, right, it's not just like random. By the way,

1760
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 1: the best book I ever read that made me a

1761
01:26:54,920 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 1: very confident flyer was by Patrick Smith. And trying to

1762
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 1: get the name of the book here, let's see he

1763
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 1: wrote the book Let's see Flying Ask the pilot. That

1764
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 1: was the book. Great, great book. And I read this book,

1765
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 1: and I don't know if this book made me. I

1766
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: think if you don't like to fly, this book might

1767
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 1: make you a more scared flyer. But for me, someone

1768
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 1: who already liked it, it was like, okay, this is anyway,

1769
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 1: Ask the Pilot by Patrick Smith. It's a great book

1770
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: to read if you're a scared flyer. The other things

1771
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 1: that they mentioned in this article sore so Sore is

1772
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: another app that will tell you fear management lessons and

1773
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 1: also a G force reader, so you can see the

1774
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 1: G force on your plane through this app. Okay, I

1775
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 1: think all these apps are actually secretly trying to make

1776
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: people more scared. And then the one I like is

1777
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 1: terbly t rbli dot com and this gives you the

1778
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 1: turbulence forecast for your flight. You can just do it

1779
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,640
Speaker 1: on the website. But what's interesting is it gives you

1780
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,720
Speaker 1: the historical data, so it tells you the most turbulent

1781
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 1: routes and the most turbulent airports. So I had a

1782
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 1: feeling that in North America some of the most turbulent airports. Okay,

1783
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 1: so the most turbulent airports of twenty twenty three in

1784
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 1: North America number one Portland number two, Denver number three,

1785
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. I knew it was Las Vegas. Flying into

1786
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: Las Vegas is like white knuckle. You're gripping that seat

1787
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 1: the entire time you're landing because it's just like you're

1788
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:33,759
Speaker 1: being whipped all over the place.

1789
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:34,799
Speaker 2: What is white knuckle.

1790
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: It's like when you hold something so tight that your

1791
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 1: knuckles turn white.

1792
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 2: Okay, never saw that? You never you never like, held

1793
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 2: on for dear life. I don't know, it just happens. No,

1794
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 2: that's the first time I've ever heard it.

1795
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 1: Oh, it's it's terminology, but I you know, maybe you know.

1796
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 1: My point is it's when you're nervous and you're just

1797
01:28:57,400 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 1: hold you're holding on for dear life. You've heard that,

1798
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: you get it now, but I didn't know you was before.

1799
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 1: You've heard of that though, holding on for dear life. Course, Yeah,

1800
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: so that's like I think it's similar. I think it

1801
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: probably comes from like you can see your bone through

1802
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:08,679
Speaker 1: the skin.

1803
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know.

1804
01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 1: I guess they're playing me off. Then they also have

1805
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 1: the most turbulent routes. Nashville. I knew it. Another one Nashville.

1806
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 1: I flew in there and that was a you know,

1807
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,640
Speaker 1: a knucklebiter. Is that what they call it all has

1808
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,760
Speaker 1: to do with your knuckles? If rich on tech dot TV,

1809
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 1: I'll link up the the apps and we're gonna talk

1810
01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:35,760
Speaker 1: to turn it In CEO, the folks would turn it

1811
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:38,400
Speaker 1: In coming up next. Welcome back to rich on tech

1812
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology. The

1813
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 1: website for the show rich on tech dot TV. If

1814
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 1: you want the links, hit the light bulb for all

1815
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 1: the stuff I just mentioned about. The flying Joining me

1816
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:56,000
Speaker 1: now is turn it In cpo Annie checkatelly.

1817
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 2: Annie. Welcome to the show.

1818
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 6: Thanks Rich. Happy to be here and excited for the conversation.

1819
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely So we're talking about turn it In.

1820
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 1: I know does some sort of you you can explain,

1821
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:11,240
Speaker 1: but you know, in schools AIS having a big impact

1822
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: because it's being used for everything, not just students, but

1823
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:17,679
Speaker 1: everyone's using AI for just about everything at this point,

1824
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 1: and so this is a real issue when it comes

1825
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 1: to grading papers and students turning in stuff that don't

1826
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,599
Speaker 1: really care if they, you know, work the system.

1827
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,080
Speaker 2: So explain what turn it In does.

1828
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 8: Sure so, turn it In is a company that's been

1829
01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 8: around for over twenty five years now.

1830
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 6: It got started.

1831
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 8: With the beginning of the Internet taking shape and teachers

1832
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:47,640
Speaker 8: feeling that many students were going to different sites and

1833
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 8: copying and pasting and putting it into papers. So different technology,

1834
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 8: similar problem in a different age, and so turn it in.

1835
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 8: Originally was was created to find what we call cop

1836
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 8: be paced plagiarism and to let teachers know when we

1837
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:07,240
Speaker 8: saw either there was a lot of matching between a

1838
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:11,639
Speaker 8: student paper and a site or perhaps even another paper

1839
01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 8: that a.

1840
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 6: Different student charge in.

1841
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 8: So really focused on academic integrity to help students really

1842
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 8: create their own original thinking. And then with the advent

1843
01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:27,679
Speaker 8: of chat GBT. So the end of twenty twenty two

1844
01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 8: was the release of chat GPT, but it wasn't the

1845
01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:37,640
Speaker 8: first time we'd started working on generative AI. Chat GPT

1846
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,599
Speaker 8: or GPT three five came out actually in June twenty twenty,

1847
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 8: so we got to play around with it in advance

1848
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 8: to really learn the statistical patterns of generative AI in writing,

1849
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:52,840
Speaker 8: and so we were able to learn early, and so

1850
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:55,120
Speaker 8: when it came out, a lot of our customers and

1851
01:31:55,160 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 8: teachers were quite afraid. I think that the sentiment has changed.

1852
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 8: I think there's still a lot of fear. But those

1853
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 8: first two months there were, you know, articles being written

1854
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 8: everywhere such as like it's the end of the paper,

1855
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:11,759
Speaker 8: it's the end of the essay, Everyone's going to cheat.

1856
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:16,040
Speaker 8: And so even the New York public schools actually banned it.

1857
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 8: It was January of twenty twenty three, in the hopes

1858
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:23,400
Speaker 8: of preventing any problems. There was like an early chaos,

1859
01:32:23,160 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 8: and we created an AI Writing Indicator so that teachers

1860
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:30,880
Speaker 8: would have insight into whether or not AI was.

1861
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 6: Being used in papers.

1862
01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:34,599
Speaker 8: And so we've come a long way and it's been

1863
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 8: quite a journey since then.

1864
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 2: Wow.

1865
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, it's very similar.

1866
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:42,759
Speaker 1: The teacher feeds the paper that the student writes into

1867
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 1: your software and it tells you if it's plagiarized basically,

1868
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 1: or if it's coming from AI.

1869
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 8: Pretty much so, yes, the student turns it in through

1870
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 8: their normal usually a learning management system, and then yes,

1871
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 8: the teacher is able to see what parts of the

1872
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:02,960
Speaker 8: paper were either matching with a different paper or predicted

1873
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:03,799
Speaker 8: as AI writing.

1874
01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:06,800
Speaker 2: And how accurate are you? Like, how does this you know?

1875
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 1: There's so many papers out there, and I guess when

1876
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:12,320
Speaker 1: you say if it matches another paper, I think of

1877
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 1: all the movies where they pull like at the fraternity house.

1878
01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 1: Like they pull like the filing cabin open. They're like, okay,

1879
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:21,440
Speaker 1: here's your science report that you can just copy and paste.

1880
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:24,840
Speaker 1: But how accurate is your technology?

1881
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:27,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, so we can divide that up.

1882
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 8: So the copy paste the example of you know, pulling

1883
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 8: a paper from a database of past papers, that's harder

1884
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 8: to do with turn it in nowadays. And so in

1885
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:41,760
Speaker 8: that situation, it's actually quite easy because we show the

1886
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 8: teacher the paper or the website or the journal article

1887
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 8: that it matches. Right, So there's what we call it,

1888
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 8: you know, a smoking gun there. It's very easy to

1889
01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 8: point out where that match happens. Whereas AI it's not

1890
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:56,000
Speaker 8: as simple.

1891
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 6: Right, we're not matching to something.

1892
01:33:58,439 --> 01:34:02,479
Speaker 8: We're using statistics patterns to determine if something was written

1893
01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 8: by AI. And in terms of the accuracy, there are

1894
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:08,559
Speaker 8: two parts, and it's really important to understand this. There

1895
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:13,200
Speaker 8: are two parts of accuracy that make up whether the

1896
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:16,479
Speaker 8: effectiveness of a tool. The first is and the most

1897
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:18,840
Speaker 8: important is the false positive rate.

1898
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 6: So that is when we say, or another tool.

1899
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:24,680
Speaker 8: Says that something was written by AI and it was

1900
01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:27,280
Speaker 8: actually written by a human. And so what we do

1901
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 8: is we maximized to we reduce that as much as possible,

1902
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:35,479
Speaker 8: So we will change the well how much we catch

1903
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 8: in order to keep that below one percent, So less

1904
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:44,439
Speaker 8: than one percent of papers will be flagged as having

1905
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 8: over twenty percent AI.

1906
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 6: In total, whereas.

1907
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:53,840
Speaker 8: We probably miss on the other side, we probably miss

1908
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 8: about fifteen to twenty percent of AI we let go

1909
01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 8: by so as to keep that false positive break down.

1910
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 1: So what I mean, I guess the question is if

1911
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 1: I use AI to write my paper, what is this

1912
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:08,960
Speaker 1: looking for? So looking for just AI? Is it using

1913
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 1: AI to look for AI? Like it knows that a

1914
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, an AI writs in a certain way, and

1915
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:15,439
Speaker 1: can a human you know you said you have the

1916
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 1: false positive and stuff. So I mean, obviously there are

1917
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: instances where a kid probably says, no, I wrote this

1918
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:23,679
Speaker 1: whole thing and it was clearly just CHATCHBT.

1919
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:27,920
Speaker 8: Like absolutely, and so yes, we use AI to detect AI.

1920
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:31,640
Speaker 8: So because of our history, we have a lot of

1921
01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 8: data on how students write, just not how humans right,

1922
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:36,559
Speaker 8: but how students write.

1923
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 2: Is it all these papers that were fed in back

1924
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 2: in the day for the copy paste.

1925
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:44,719
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, and so we have this trove of data

1926
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 8: that shows us statistically how students put together words in

1927
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 8: different types of scenarios.

1928
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

1929
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:57,840
Speaker 8: And then we have that model and we trained it,

1930
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:01,280
Speaker 8: and it compares itself to how a large language model

1931
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:04,080
Speaker 8: put together puts together words and sentences.

1932
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 6: And a large language model the way it writes is

1933
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:10,880
Speaker 6: not for completeness of thought.

1934
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:14,320
Speaker 8: So when we write something, we think about, Okay, we're

1935
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:16,360
Speaker 8: going to make a point here, and we have the

1936
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:19,280
Speaker 8: end in mind. When we're writing, we know that we

1937
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 8: have to complete a thought that at the end is

1938
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:25,080
Speaker 8: going to make a statement or an argument or whatever

1939
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:25,760
Speaker 8: it is that our.

1940
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:28,519
Speaker 6: End goal is. And LM does not have an end

1941
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:31,280
Speaker 6: goal in mind. It goes word by word by word

1942
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:31,639
Speaker 6: by word.

1943
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 8: That's just predictabor meaning that's exactly what it is.

1944
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 6: It's just predicting the next word.

1945
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:40,639
Speaker 8: And so it's always pulling the most probable next word,

1946
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:45,599
Speaker 8: which humans rarely do they do, but it's rare, especially

1947
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:49,160
Speaker 8: in the number of successions. So some of the safety

1948
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:53,040
Speaker 8: measures we have on our AI indicator is that we

1949
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 8: won't make a prediction if the if there's less than

1950
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:00,559
Speaker 8: three hundred words, and that's unique to our We feel

1951
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:03,879
Speaker 8: we need that much text to really make a judgment

1952
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:07,360
Speaker 8: that we can provide insight into So that's one of

1953
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 8: those examples.

1954
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:10,240
Speaker 1: So can a student kind of check their own like,

1955
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:12,960
Speaker 1: do you have like a consumer facing tool that people

1956
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:15,280
Speaker 1: can access to like put their stuff into to see

1957
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:16,439
Speaker 1: if it might be flagged?

1958
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:18,200
Speaker 2: We do not.

1959
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 6: We debate this a lot, and we debate it and

1960
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:21,160
Speaker 6: we talk about it with our.

1961
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 2: Customers because I know why we debate it now.

1962
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:24,519
Speaker 1: I just thought of the reason, because then I would

1963
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 1: just take my paper and I'll just keep tweaking one

1964
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:28,880
Speaker 1: word at a time until it said, oh no, this

1965
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 1: was totally written by a human.

1966
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:31,879
Speaker 2: Now I guess yeah.

1967
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 6: We do offer.

1968
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 8: I mean we are working on how we can do

1969
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 8: that in a safe way. For instance, how do we

1970
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:42,200
Speaker 8: do that in a way that the teacher knows that

1971
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 8: they did that. And so in our future iterations of

1972
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:48,919
Speaker 8: our product, we're really looking more not so much about detection,

1973
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:52,439
Speaker 8: but more about that transparency, so that assumption that you

1974
01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 8: know what, we're all going.

1975
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:56,679
Speaker 6: To use this in different ways. What are responsible ways

1976
01:37:56,720 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 6: of using this?

1977
01:37:57,600 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 2: Okay, and I have coached this.

1978
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:01,880
Speaker 1: I've got less than a minute, so I want to

1979
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 1: I just want to. I got less than a minute,

1980
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 1: so I want to. I want your advice for students

1981
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:09,559
Speaker 1: and teachers about this whole situation, like, what is your

1982
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, you've been working with this company for a

1983
01:38:11,320 --> 01:38:14,000
Speaker 1: long time. What's your advice to students and teachers here?

1984
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:17,720
Speaker 8: Yes, I have three teenagers and my husband teaches high

1985
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 8: school English, so this is a very common discussion at

1986
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,720
Speaker 8: my house. So the number one thing is play with

1987
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:25,479
Speaker 8: it yourself, right, get accustomed to it. If you've not

1988
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:28,800
Speaker 8: open chat, GBT or a tool like that, use it.

1989
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,439
Speaker 6: Also, ask your students to use it in front of you.

1990
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,599
Speaker 8: I bet they're already using it in different ways, whether

1991
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 8: it's summarizing things or making things easier. Ask them to

1992
01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:39,960
Speaker 8: use it in front of you, even for a paper,

1993
01:38:40,040 --> 01:38:42,880
Speaker 8: and see how they're using it, and you can learn

1994
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:46,600
Speaker 8: kind of the productive ways in the unproductive ways. And

1995
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,679
Speaker 8: then when you're talking to your cheek, your student, your kids, teacher,

1996
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 8: ask them their philosophy on how much they think and

1997
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:56,280
Speaker 8: what types of assignments it's appropriate. This is all about

1998
01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 8: being transparent. It's not about you know, punitive, you know,

1999
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:03,719
Speaker 8: making this child punished because they use it, but helping

2000
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 8: them understand the right way to use it.

2001

2007
01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 1: DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology, and it

2008
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:38,080
Speaker 1: is time once again for the feedbag. So if you

2009
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,639
Speaker 1: don't know what the feedbag is. I get a lot

2010
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 1: of emails from you, a lot. Like when I say

2011
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:47,640
Speaker 1: a lot, I can sit down and do emails indefinitely,

2012
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:50,599
Speaker 1: like literally all day, all day, every day.

2013
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:51,479
Speaker 2: But I love it.

2014
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:53,240
Speaker 1: And if you know, if you've ever written me, you

2015
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 1: might get a response because I do enjoy writing back

2016
01:39:56,479 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 1: to you. But these are the emails, the comments, the questions,

2017
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:02,519
Speaker 1: all the things that you send me that I find

2018
01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:05,240
Speaker 1: interesting and I read them here in the feedbag if

2019
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 1: you want to submit something for the feedbag. And by

2020
01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:11,920
Speaker 1: the way, feedbag is a combination of feedback and mail bag,

2021
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:15,479
Speaker 1: so that's where feedbag comes from. Yes, I just thought

2022
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 1: it was clever and funny, and so we call it

2023
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:20,760
Speaker 1: the feedbag. Well I call it the feedbag I mean,

2024
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:21,559
Speaker 1: there's really no one else.

2025
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 2: It's just me.

2026
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:27,519
Speaker 1: It's literally me, so Rich on tech dot TV hit

2027
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,880
Speaker 1: contact if you want to get your message in on

2028
01:40:30,920 --> 01:40:34,000
Speaker 1: the feedbag. Manny writes in hey brother, I love my

2029
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 1: ray band Metas. I had them about a year now,

2030
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:39,200
Speaker 1: only a couple of issues. Battery life is short. I

2031
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 1: only get about sixty to ninety minutes of music at work. Also,

2032
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:46,919
Speaker 1: they don't handle recordings at live concerts well if you're upfront,

2033
01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 1: too much noise for the mic. Hope you and the

2034
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,599
Speaker 1: family are well. Yeah, we talked a lot about these

2035
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:56,960
Speaker 1: ray Bandmetas, so many questions and comments about them last week.

2036
01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 2: I am loving them. Everyone. I show these things too.

2037
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 1: They absolutely just love it, and I'm continuing to find

2038
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: more and more uses for them. So they are fun.

2039
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 1: Agnes writes in Hey Rich, I'm definitely not a techie. However,

2040
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:12,760
Speaker 1: I listen to you every Saturday and learn something new.

2041
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: Just heard you talking about the Aura frame you got

2042
01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:17,320
Speaker 1: for your dad. My kids got one for my husband

2043
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:19,720
Speaker 1: and me a couple of years ago, and we love it.

2044
01:41:19,720 --> 01:41:19,800
Speaker 3: It.

2045
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:23,000
Speaker 1: Sits where we can see it and at our kitchen table.

2046
01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 1: It brings a smile to our faces seeing memories with

2047
01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:28,720
Speaker 1: our kids and our grandkids, and yes, all of us

2048
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 1: add to it, which makes it amazing to see pictures

2049
01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 1: we didn't add. I'm actually looking at my aura as

2050
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 1: I type this email. Thanks for your great show and information, Agnes. Yes,

2051
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is the easiest gift to get anyone,

2052
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:45,320
Speaker 1: because it just you can't look at this thing and

2053
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,919
Speaker 1: not smile. You think that you look at your photos

2054
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:50,320
Speaker 1: on the phone, You don't you realize that there's just

2055
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 1: so many pictures locked onto your cell phone that you

2056
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:57,200
Speaker 1: never look at. And so by day you know, maybe

2057
01:41:57,200 --> 01:41:59,160
Speaker 1: not day one, there is going to be amazing, but

2058
01:41:59,240 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, day three, day four, as you get into

2059
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 1: a routine of saying, oh, I took a good picture today,

2060
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:06,559
Speaker 1: let me share that to my frame or my family's frame.

2061
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: It's really a great thing. I'll put the link in

2062
01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 1: the show notes. Dat writes in Hi, Rich, my name

2063
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:13,720
Speaker 1: is Dat and I'm blind. I love your show, sir,

2064
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:16,160
Speaker 1: you make tech real fun. I'd like you to have

2065
01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 1: more guests on that are experts on assistive technology on

2066
01:42:19,280 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 1: your show to keep us disabled folk updated on the

2067
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:25,720
Speaker 1: latest unique tech for us. Please talk more about accessibility

2068
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:28,240
Speaker 1: on your show thank you for a great show every week.

2069
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:29,920
Speaker 2: That is a good point.

2070
01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:34,400
Speaker 1: We have had guests in the past talk about accessibility,

2071
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:38,680
Speaker 1: and I have gone to the season Accessibility conference, but

2072
01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:41,879
Speaker 1: we will. I will make it a point to actually

2073
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 1: book more guests that talk about these things, because there

2074
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 1: are just so many things that are happening on a

2075
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 1: daily basis that affect you know, the low vision, the

2076
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 1: blind community, and just accessibility in general. Tech is such

2077
01:42:56,520 --> 01:43:00,800
Speaker 1: a huge driver for accessibility, and so we do need

2078
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:03,160
Speaker 1: more of that, and I will absolutely keep that in

2079
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:04,519
Speaker 1: mind and book more guests for that.

2080
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 2: Thanks for that, Thanks for that that.

2081
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:10,639
Speaker 1: Jay David writes in don't know if this will be seen,

2082
01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:13,559
Speaker 1: but transition lenses need to be broken in by leaving

2083
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 1: them in bright sun or under ultraviolet light to get dark.

2084
01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 1: If you wear them enough outside, they'll eventually darken. In

2085
01:43:20,120 --> 01:43:22,519
Speaker 1: the past, I've put them in my backyard facing south.

2086
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,000
Speaker 1: My latest pair was treated at the store of the

2087
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 1: UV device for about ten minutes and they got extremely

2088
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 1: dark fully broken in. Huh So I mentioned that the

2089
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:33,640
Speaker 1: ray bands have transition lenses that go darker, but I

2090
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 1: said they didn't get very dark and interesting, so Jay

2091
01:43:38,240 --> 01:43:41,400
Speaker 1: David says that you got to leave them outside. Okay,

2092
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:43,679
Speaker 1: I'll leave them outside for a little bit. I feel

2093
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:45,720
Speaker 1: like I have noticed they've gotten darker over time, but

2094
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: they're still They're not like sunglass dark. You know, it's

2095
01:43:48,479 --> 01:43:52,679
Speaker 1: not like you. You know, So it's like anyway, Bonnie,

2096
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, this is all about the ray bands. I

2097
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:57,639
Speaker 1: would like to buy a pair of those ray bands.

2098
01:43:57,720 --> 01:43:59,679
Speaker 1: Only problem is, no one thinks there's a large enough

2099
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:02,799
Speaker 1: market for people with smaller heads, slash faces, slash wrists,

2100
01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 1: and thus we get left out of the cool stuff

2101
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 1: because it looks ridiculous on us. Thanks for all the

2102
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:10,760
Speaker 1: great info you share, Bonnie. You know it's funny. Every

2103
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 1: product that's a wearable that I test, someone's not happy.

2104
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:15,360
Speaker 2: On one side.

2105
01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:17,040
Speaker 1: Some people are like, oh that watch is too small,

2106
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 1: Oh that watch is too big. So there are many

2107
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:22,240
Speaker 1: I think tech companies are getting hip or to the

2108
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:24,640
Speaker 1: fact that people want a variety of these devices and

2109
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:29,519
Speaker 1: various sizes. So the ray bands do come in various sizes.

2110
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:32,679
Speaker 1: So I think that you should give give him a check.

2111
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:37,080
Speaker 1: Daniel from Rutherfordton, North Carolina. He says he listens to

2112
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:39,719
Speaker 1: the podcast and writes in hey rich regarding the caller

2113
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 1: who wanted to consolidate and sort photos from multiple external drives.

2114
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:48,000
Speaker 1: I suggest Mileo Photos. They have free and paid plans,

2115
01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 1: work across platforms and devices. Many people love it. I've

2116
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:53,400
Speaker 1: used it a little, though I'm not really a photo hoarder.

2117
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:56,839
Speaker 1: All right, Mileo Photos if you want a photo management

2118
01:44:57,200 --> 01:44:59,880
Speaker 1: I personally still think Google Photos is the best. In fact,

2119
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,200
Speaker 1: I just finished a project that I've been trying to

2120
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 1: accomplish for probably eight years now, and that is consolidating

2121
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:10,600
Speaker 1: all of these different drives I had of my photos,

2122
01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:13,960
Speaker 1: like backups, and getting them all into Google Photos. Because

2123
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 1: Google Photos, I don't know if you know this, but

2124
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:17,040
Speaker 1: it's not going to put in duplicates. So if you

2125
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 1: have photos in different places, it will upload those photos

2126
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:22,679
Speaker 1: and it won't put them in your collection if they're duplicates,

2127
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 1: which is really nice. So I just I was uploading

2128
01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking hundreds and hundreds of gigabytes of

2129
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:32,400
Speaker 1: photos that I was uploading, and it all went in

2130
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 1: there and it's fine, and now I finally have that.

2131
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 1: Now my second phase is to go into Google takeout

2132
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:41,320
Speaker 1: and actually download a copy of all my Google Photos.

2133
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:46,439
Speaker 1: Christopher from Commerce Georgia says, on your November ninth show,

2134
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 1: you spoke about home internet provided by cellular companies. I

2135
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 1: use T Mobile home Internet and I love it for

2136
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:54,919
Speaker 1: the price and speed. I browse email, stream Netflix, Discovery

2137
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 1: Plus and Paramount Plus and keep my devices updated. It

2138
01:45:57,320 --> 01:45:59,519
Speaker 1: works perfectly for all of that without any complaints. The

2139
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:00,839
Speaker 1: speed is perfect.

2140
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:01,880
Speaker 2: Good to know.

2141
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:04,960
Speaker 1: Neil from Ohio writes in, I just want to say

2142
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:08,400
Speaker 1: the cybersecurity Lady was great last week and today's newsletter

2143
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:11,080
Speaker 1: is fantastic. I'm counting on you to help us stay

2144
01:46:11,080 --> 01:46:13,880
Speaker 1: more private and save more money. Thanks and keep them coming.

2145
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:14,679
Speaker 1: Thank you, Neil.

2146
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:16,719
Speaker 2: Let's see.

2147
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:19,200
Speaker 1: Paul writes in, I agreed about what you said about

2148
01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:21,479
Speaker 1: the poor quality of Netflix movies. It was always a

2149
01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 1: challenge to find something worthwhile watching, and I usually ended

2150
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:27,599
Speaker 1: up disappointed in the acting or the plot. I finally

2151
01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:31,080
Speaker 1: gave up and canceled my subscription. In these times of

2152
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 1: rising prices, I was shocked, shocked, shocked to borrow Claude

2153
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 1: Rains's line from Casablanca to get an email from my

2154
01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:40,240
Speaker 1: visible phone provider saying my monthly fee is going down

2155
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:42,760
Speaker 1: by five dollars for me being a loyal customer of

2156
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:46,720
Speaker 1: six years. Thanks for all that you do well. Thank you,

2157
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:51,439
Speaker 1: and yes that is I joked last night on Netflix

2158
01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:55,000
Speaker 1: on Instagram that if you were watching Hot Frosty on Netflix,

2159
01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:57,679
Speaker 1: you should stop because we needed the bandwidth for the fight.

2160
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:00,439
Speaker 1: And Kim emailed me and she said, is that a

2161
01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:02,360
Speaker 1: real movie? And I said, yes it is. It's on

2162
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 1: the homepage of Netflix, and you know it's one of

2163
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 1: their Hallmark movie esques. Anyway, I have not watched it.

2164
01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 1: That's going to do it for this episode of the show.

2165
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:11,400
Speaker 1: You can find links to everything I mentioned on my website.

2166
01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:13,680
Speaker 1: Just go to richontech dot tv. You can find me

2167
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:17,800
Speaker 1: on social media, including my new found account at blue Sky.

2168
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 1: I am at rich on Tech. If you haven't gotten

2169
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 1: on there, check it out. It's kind of fun. It

2170
01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:25,160
Speaker 1: feels like you're part of something new. Next week, we'll

2171
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:29,000
Speaker 1: have the Wirecutter on to talk about holiday deals and

2172
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:32,760
Speaker 1: how to use AI for your recipes and to bake.

2173
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening. There are so many

2174
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:37,519
Speaker 1: ways you can spend your time. I do appreciate you

2175
01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 1: spending it right here with me. Thanks to everyone who
